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.

I tried thunderbird once, but alas my trusty outlook is the better. It seems that thunderbird can't connect to a webmail smtp server. Anyway there is really no point is using thunderbird when you already got outlook with office xp. Well for mozilla firebird is better then ie, imho

Thunderbird has nothing to do with Outlook, although it may be a good competitor for Outlook Express.  Unlike Outlook Express and Thunderbird, Outlook isn't just an email program, it's a personal organiser. It manages your contacts, your calendar, your tasks and of course your email.

Please Scooby, there is no comparison. It's like comparing Word and Notepad.

I have read alot of really good things about Outlook 2003, is it available for purchase without having to buy the complete Office 2003 suite or not? Dumb question , I know..lol But I don't need alot of office software I'm never gonna use just to get a good email app, ya know? I currently use Pocomail3 and it works flawlessly, I think out of any email app I have tried, this one was actually worth paying for.

It can be bought as a 'Stand alone' app...

It is, in my opinion, "that good". It may not be worth the money for you. I use outlook and word both at home and place of employment and find that they work well for me. I also can use both on my PDA without much effort.

If you're a college studient, in some colleges you can buy Office xp pro for just 75 bucks. That's how I got mine.

I could see MS charging ,maybe 50 bucks for just Outlook, thats reasonable, but over a hundred dollars? That seems rather..well..insane! Guess I will just stick to my 35 dollar Pocomail3.

If Outlook was just an email program, yes, it would be insane.  But Outlook is much more than that.
Actually, Outlook is not even my favorite email program, but I use it for the calendar, to do list, task management and contact management.  Since Outlook is always open anyway, I also use it for email cause I'm lazy and don't want to waste another process for nothing.

That's kinda what I was getting at, it seems a high price as all I would want it for was the email. I don't think I would use the other parts of it enough to justify spending that kind of money on it I guess. Call me cheap.But its a kiler app, no doubt.
