Microsoft's Outlook is the hands down most popular package in the world for handling e-mail. The overwhelming percentage of peopel using Outlook use it only for handling e-mail. They ignore that in revision after revision, down through many years Microsoft has expanded the functionality built into the program to becomen what Microsoft calls a Desktop Information Manager. Not only that, but in keeping with Microsoft's traditions, it has kept the Outlook look and feel rather consistent across the range of functions.

Among the standard features built into Outlook 2007 include what you might call a contact management system (and you don't have to pay extra for it). With you can keep a lot of information about your contacts, not just their e-mail addresses. Then there's a calender, scheduling system, sending yourself notes (kind of like those little yellow slips), keeping a journal and lots, lots more.

Like the other For Dummies books, this book uses simple English to explain things and yet covers the subject very completely.

I purchased the program to replace Outlook Express 6 which kept locking up on me. The book made the setup for e-mail accounts very simple and I loved the other features of the program which I was able to use almost immediately by reading the book and following instructions. This is a great book for a low price.

Sometimes when you think you know almost everything there is to know about something you pick up a book and learn a little more... Awesome book that totally my job 60% easier then it was... Thanks!

I'm a senior now ( over 55) and this is VERY EASY to understand and follow. I would recommend this to even a young person just begining to learn about computers !

Everything was organized as all of these books are, regardless of the subject, and that was like talking to a welcome friend. Everything was easy to find as long as I knew the right questions to ask. I also use this software at my work and it was a double help in that.

This book is pretty easy to understand and is a painless and fun way to learn about outlook. There is great deal of information. Definitely recommended for anyone using outlook for the first time as I was, or someone using for a while who may want extra tips.

There are a few places where the book is not accurate or I could not do what it said. I think it includes some tips for Business Contact Manager but unfortunately doesn't mention that the feature is only available in Business Contact Manager. Therefore, you may find yourself a drop frustrated when you can't do what it says,if you do not have this add on program. But, those instances are not too common and overall the book is well worth the money it and has helped me work much faster in Outlook.

This is a good buy. Considering that it was only $0.48 plus shipping, it was a bargain. If you are new to Outlook, this is a good reference book to have on hand. It was very useful when I was setting up new distribution lists.

These `for dummies' books are always great - sometimes I need to be walked through a process step by step & this books does it.
And, the price was awesome - thanks Amazon
