The authoritative guide for advanced Outlook users and Outlook administrators.

Microsoft Outlook 2000 E-mail and Fax Guide teaches advanced users and administrators, especially those within networked organizations using Exchange Server, how to manage and optimize Microsoft Outlook, the industry's leading messaging client, and use it as an effective tool for organizational communications. Written by one of the industry's leading experts on Outlook, Microsoft MVP-recognition winner Sue Mosher, the book concentrates on features, techniques and troubleshooting vital to advanced users and administrators but which are covered lightly, if at all, by other books on Outlook. Rather than offering only basic instruction or, like mammoth tomes on the topic, surveying every Outlook feature for every conceivable Outlook user, administrator, and developer, Microsoft Outlook 2000 E-mail and Fax Guide provides extensive instruction and best practices on the Outlook e-mail, fax and workgroup capabilities considered critical by sophisticated and frequent users of Outlook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally! A Roadmap for Outlook 2000 E-mail and Fax Users, March 5, 2000

No matter what your reason for running Outlook 2000 (or OL2K), sooner or later you're going to run into situations where you wish you had your own "genie" to guide you. When it comes to OL2K E-mail and Fax, Sue Mosher's new book is the next best thing. The book is tailored to the needs of e-mail and fax users, allowing Mosher to delve deeply into issues that are usually glossed over in similar books. From technical installation options to composing HTML stationary, she covers each topic with 'gusto' and experience. I continually asked myself "Where in the heck does she get all of this 'inside' info?"

I especially recommend this book to administrators or advanced users who have not yet set up their OL2K environment. By reviewing the various modes and options ahead of time, you will be able to choose the set of features that work for *your* situation.

Indeed, the book is a roadmap. At the end of each chapter you'll find a section called FOR MORE INFORMATION that steers you based on what you're trying to accomplish. The destinations include book chapters, WWW sites, and even utilities on the web.

Absolute beginners will find the book daunting - there is a lot of technical information packed into the 550+ pages. But I have learned that absolute beginners don't stay that way very long and will soon be exploring other nooks and crannies in the OL2K workspace. If you're the kind of person that just uses e-mail because you're forced to, then this is not the book for you. But if you're a beginner or intermediate Outlook user curious about how you can do more than FROM and TO, then take a look at this book.

Power users and administrators: your ship has come in! You *will* lose sleep as you find yourself going deeper and deeper into OL2K's feature set. Others nearby may be startled by your occasional "A-ha!" or "That's why...." or "Where in the heck does she get all of this 'inside' info?" Seriously, this is a *must have* volume for any professional who needs to get the most out of OL2K's e-mail and fax features.

Fair warning: You will find Mosher's book so useful that you'll probably want to move on to her other book where you actually start programming OL2K to do what you want. Again, Mosher will be your guide, laying out the roadmap....

2.0 out of 5 stars Just a basic guide...., March 30, 2001

I was very disappointed after reading this book. After reading several of the other reviews, I thought this book would cover the medium to advanced features of Outlook. Instead, there are chapters devoted to "receiving email", "how to enter in contacts", etc. This book is way to BASIC to be considered a complete guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Outlook resource I have found, July 6, 2000

By 

Antonio Perez (Los Angeles, California United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Microsoft Outlook 2000 E-mail and Fax Guide (Paperback)

Having spent the better part of the last 15 years in the pc environment, I tend to tweak a program as much as possible to produce output that meets my demands. I was having a problem finding an e-mail solution that enabled me to produce an attractive mass mail message using logos, various fonts and other objects. After spending an inordinate amount of hours reading other manuals, and messages in virtual communities where I came upon Sue Mosher's name, I decided to buy this book. My first reaction was to "get it right away" and go to the "bricks and mortar" competition in my neighborhood. Too technical for them, but they could special order it. Instead, I ordered it from Amazon using the fastest delivery possible. Got it in two days in spite of the 4th of July holiday. Opened up the book and found the solution I was seeking in less than 10 minutes. Am starting to explore other areas in this magnificent book. An excellent resource.
