 A Little Overwhelming November 10, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
there are a TON of options, almost too many. i've had this for a couple of weeks and am still running into things i didn't know it would do! being able to CATEGORIZE your emails is nice; if you flag them they pop up when you start Outlook as reminders. there is so much to say about it i could go on an on .. suffice it to say this is a really nice upgrade from the old outlook .. this was a real treat for me. PLUS .. AMAZON HAD THE BEST PRICE AROUND .. even CHEAPER THAN WAL MART!!! Don't think twice, just go ahead an buy it .. you won't regret it. Seriously.
A review for the technologically disadvantaged November 7, 2008
I have Outlook at work and found it so user-friendly and helpful that I ordered it for use on my PC at home. Too bad I didn't know that you need to have Office (which I do not own) installed before you can install Outlook. So, now I'm saving up for Office and feeling really stupid because I already opened the packaging and can't just buy the bundle now. Hopefully this review has been helpful for some and entertaining for the rest!
Improved Outlook 2007 October 30, 2008
Improved look and feel. Much easier to set-up email accounts. Easier to organize and manage high volume of messages.
Very good but overpriced. October 27, 2008

I'm not a business user but I was looking for a balanced, stable, powerful email/calendar client. It just works, and I am mostly pleased with it. I'll list my pro/cons.
Pros:
-Nice email client- quick to sync with my Gmail (I use POP because my Gmail's IMAP refuses to function correctly with any client I have used, but that's another story).
-Interface is mostly good. Easy to switch around, and I'm glad they didn't switch to the ribbon bar...drop downs fit Outlook well.
-Very secure- never loads images or actually anything by default. File previewer works well.
-Runs in the background quite well. When minimized in the system tray, Task Manager says it's using 49k
-RSS is satisfactory. I might switch back to using the built-in RSS of my Opera browser, but that's just personal preference.
-Calendar is well integrated with both Windows and Mac filetypes. Organization and task tools are simple but still highly customizable.
-I love the integration with OneNote. The way it links appointments to notes is just great!
-Contact management is just great. These guys have made it a fine science.
Cons:
-Takes far too long to start up the first time; as much as 45 seconds by my count.
-Price is not competitive. Needs to be 50 dollars or less to really be a good value (I got it for free hehe).
-Typical redundant Microsoft interfaces are in full force.
-Slight learning curve to the interface, as is typical with Microsoft interfaces...they sacrifice intuitiveness for speed. I think it's a good idea but some people might not.
Works OK with my Ipod Touch October 24, 2008

Bought it to synchronize with my new Ipod Touch. Wanted a computer backup of my Calendar and Contacts. Wish that "categories" in Outlook was also available on the Touch. Was disappointed Apple did not also sync with Outlook Tasks and Notes ... had to get separate apps via the web (Toodledo- it's great). Interface is cluttered, they need to take a lesson from Google's simplicity, but has lots of features I don't use.
