Outlook certainly has email but also includes fairly powerful contact management with many info fields and notes as well as a calender including flags and reminders, meeting invites etc. Personally, I use Mozilla Thunderbird with the Lightning add-on to cover all the same bases and it's FREE (PC/Mac/Linux) and the calender and contacts synchronize with my PocketPC with a utility called BirdieSync http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/ http://www.birdiesync.com/ Phil Al Guecia/AlliedPianoCraft wrote: > /Uh, Isn't Outlook E-mail?
