Replacement for Outlook
Hi,
I was wondering what would be a good mail program to replace Outlook 2000, I would need one that could import the Notes, Contact List and Calendar functions and display them in somewhat similar fashion. Any suggestions would be appreciated. TIA

Try out Eudora.

Or Mozilla Thunderbird, from the makers of Firefox.

You are going to have a harder time finding a replacement for Outlook's calendar, since Eudora and Thunderbird are e-mail clients, not full "collaboration" pieces of software. Eudora and Thunderbird are replacements for Outlook Express, which doesn't have the calendar functions.

Thanks guys, I guess I'll have to buy a newer version of Outlook. I have Outlook 2000 and it's been running kind of flakey lately and Microsoft no longer supports it. I do like the calendar and notes features.

Outlook 2003 is a lot better than 2000, but 2000 is still a very usable product.
Why don't you just do a repair of your Office 2000, then get all the service packs and updates? Tip: You can buy the student and teacher edition of Office 2003 (Word, Excel, Outlook, Powerpoint) for $130 without proof of eligibility, and it can be installed on 3 computers. CompUSA has it. It can be found mail order for even less. |

Thanks for the suggestions glc, I'll try the repair update thing, I never did get the updates as I never had trouble with it till now. I didn't know you still could get them. When it closed with that notify Microsoft box and I clicked on it it said Microsoft no longer supports it. So I'll just go to their site and get them. If I have any problems I'll just buy Office 2003 I didn't know it was so inexpensive.

Check your .pst files - if they are getting close to 2 gigs, this can cause problems, and you should update to 2003. If you are looking for updates, just go to office.microsoft.com and use the check for updates function. You will need your original CD in the drive in order to install the updates. You will probably have to do this more than once because of prerequisites.

That was it glc, Outlook.pst was just over 2 GIGS, I guess I'll be purchasing 2003 or I'll see if I can delete some things. Thanks for the help!
