I have not used any version of Outlook before but since my company is rolling out Exchange Server and Outlook soon, as an administrator, I have to get accustom to these applications first. This book is really right for me and already I am at ease with this powerful and yet sophisticated application. Every option and button is explained clearly. There are lots of screen dumps to make the explanation even clearer. In addition, this book is peppered with experts' tips for the advanced users. This is *the* Outlook book.

This review is from: Running Microsoft Outlook 2000 (Paperback)

I think this would be a useful book for someone using Outlook 2000 as a Microsoft Exchange Client. However, for someone using it in a non-network setting, it is frustrating; only occassional asides are given to internet connectivity, and often whole chapters on functionality are ended with a note to the effect of, "If you are an internet-only user, these functions are not available." The point is, Outlook allows those in a mobile office/home office setting to take advantage of many of these features, and these functions can be utilized. This book does not explain this very clearly, however. Further, there are many step-by-step instructions that do not apply, exactly, to the most recent version of Outlook 2000; commands are slightly different, and often the Outlook 98 steps are given. This can be sussed out by the user, but one would think that a book such as this would not make these proofreading mistakes.
