Outlook 2003
Sunday, November 16, 2003 by bmetelsky | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I installed Outlook 2003 - a very nice product in my opinion. I am having a problem, though, with it blocking attachments. I tried creating a registry entry for Level1Remove, which worked in Outlook XP and is supposed to work in 2003 also, but it will not allow me open the files I specify. Anyone else tackle this problem successfully? Thanks in advance.

Nevermind - seems it was not a problem with Outlook. I just switched default browsers and voila...avant browser opens after I click on a link in recieved mail and displays the page.

I looked over at the Office web site, and I don't really see anything that would compel me to switch from XP to 2003.
What, as a user point of view, do you find better in Outlook 2003 in particular, and Office 2003 in general?

Outlook 2003 includes additional junk filtering, even above the thresholds we've configured via our mail server software. Honestly, if for no other reason than that, it's worth the price. Yes, you can store searches, it's got an improved UI over the XP version, and some other bits. But I'm happier with the junk filtering and the ability to add a toolbar item for "suppress this spammer" than anything else.
Now... the rest of Office... not to be a downer, but I don't use 95% of the features available in it anyhow. Office XP will do for that until I buy a new pc.

Oh, and somewhere I have a link to a program which allows one to "adjust" the "my way or the highway" attachment levels for those who are prepared. Will try and find the link tomorrow.

May be off topic a bit, but I will be getting a new laptop soon, and one thing I would like to be able to do is synchronize my Outlook between my laptop and my desktop. Is there a built-in feature in Outlook (XP or 2003?) that would allow me to do that? If I just drop the PST file in the briefcase, it would just look at the date of the latest PST file in general and overwrite the oldest, right? Not try to synchronize the newest emails, contacts and appoitments between the two?

Paxx - As far as I know it doesn't have a synchronize feature, but you can use the backup feature to back up all your personal folders on your main system and then use the restore to import them to your lap Outlook......you can also put the backup on auto and it will then be up to date when ever you want.
Should have added link for 'Backup' add-in http://office.microsoft.com/officeupdate/category.aspx?CategoryID=CD010798351033&CTT=4&Origin=CD010224941033

The junkmail feature is really the main reason that I upgraded. I also like the new layout - it's more "viewer friendly" and helps in organizing the email. The changes in the other Office 2003 components aren't significantly noticeable, however, there are a lot of "under the hood" improvements.
It's not difficult to change the registry to accomodate file attachments - my problem was that I thought the changes I made were not working when they really were - it was just some IE setting that prevented my internet explorer from opening properly when clicking on a link in a recieved email.

For those that are wary of editing the registry, here is a link to a website for a product called "DetachOL". The program is free but in development. http://www.mcdev.com
It's quick and painless. In my opinion, it is better than many of the com add-in's available that do the same thing.
