[QUOTE="deathcab1, post: 696261, member: 59535"] thats the problem with outlook. As the guy above said, its probably the best solution for a raging business man who needs to read 100's of mail, book appointments and manage tasks etc. But for your casual home user, i think its an abomination of email software :D i rarely send emails, but receive plenty, and programs like apple mail, thunderbird make it so simple that heavyweight programs like outlook look un neccesary. And thats what annoys me, the older generation of users who think they should be using outlook when smaller and lighter programs could do things easier. Mine is setup: Google - Mail / Contacts / Calendar. Apple mail has an IMAP to google, address book imports from contacts, iCal imports from calendar. I can change contacts in address book and send them back to google. And using iSync i can sync my calendar and contacts with my nokia, and set up an imap on the phone to get emails. And that is all free, and is probably equivalent to what Mobile Me / exchange server offers. [/QUOTE]
