'Hey Pirillo -- I hate Microsoft Outlook.' Well, that's your problem. I realize that some of you would rather use another client to send and receive Internet e-mail. Let me ask this: did you install Outlook 2000's Internet option? If not, why not? You don't need the corporate options unless you're in... a corporate environment. Now, do you use Microsoft Word to compose a fair amount of snail mail? Why not use Outlook's address book when the option is given? NOTE: Outlook can (at any time) import contact data from other popular mail clients. So, even if you don't use it regularly, Outlook can still be your friend. For those already using Outlook 2000's contact database, select someone in it and under the 'Actions' menu, choose 'New Letter to Contact.' Guess what that does? Launches Word's Letter Wizard automatically. Also under 'Actions' is the 'New Contact from Same Company' option. Wow! We're just saving tons of time today.
