Tired of launching thirteen different apps to do your daily deeds? Perhaps you should give Outlook 2000 (and Outlook Express) a second look. "Oh, here he goes again -- proselytizing the masses." No, check this out -- you can drag and drop Internet Shortcuts into the Outlook 2000 Bar to view the URLs within the main pane. I've done this for the Daily edition of Lockergnome (so it's never more than one click away). You can do the same thing. Make a shortcut for http://www.lockergnome.com/issues/daily.html and you'll be good to go! Notice the Favorites menu in Outlook 2000? Yep, you can browse the Web within that mail client. You can also create shortcuts for regular files / documents; if you ever run out of room, right-click and display 'Small Icons' or simply create a new Group. Another 'unused' feature: dragging & dropping messages to and from an Outlook (or Outlook Express) folder. ZIP up the e-mails you don't need immediately and put them back whenever you so desire. Three tips in one!
