1.0 out of 5 stars Missing key information, December 16, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Special Edition Using Microsoft Outlook 2002 (Paperback)

This book absolutely drops the ball on the attachment blocking and programming restriction settings built into Outlook 2002. No coverage. Given these are on by default (and can't easily be changed by users using Outlook on Exchange), this is a huge gaping hole in coverage. After buying this book, and realizing it didn't cover this, I checked a couple of other big books on Outlook and see they do cover it. I haven't reviewed them closely enough to recommend another book though.

Also, for most users in a business setting, a lot of this book will have minor (or larger) inconsistencies with how you use Outlook if you connect to Exchange. Most of the book is written assuming you are a home user connecting to an internet email account, not a business user connected to Exchange server. Outlook has a lot of differences in these two settings and the Exchange based coverage is limited to a few chapters near the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent source on Outlook from the perspective of home, August 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Special Edition Using Microsoft Outlook 2002 (Paperback)

An excellent overview of major features of Outlook 2002.Since Outlook is the part of Office package on the first place, the perspective of home user is dominant. Coverege is comprehensive and author's ability to explain concepts in ituitive and easily understandable manner is evident.
