Coming from the "Express Lane" department, Lockergnomie Alex Gray drops a dragging tip into your lap. Icons are the staple of any toolbar; without them, it's just another menu. Simply right-click on a toolbar to configure it (this tactic works in most modern Microsoft apps). What's new? Outlook Express users can relocate any (visible) toolbar icon immediately by using the SHIFT key while dragging it left and right. Outlook 2000 users are out of luck this time. They, however, should add an 'Address / URL Field' from the Web set to their default toolbar (for instant IE access within the Outlook interface). What can both clients do? Drag and drop messages into different folders without having the 'Folder View' turned on. Simply drag and hover selected message(s) over the Folder Bar to view your mailbox folder hierarchy. No matter which program you use, the "Outlook" is good. Or, at least, configurable.
