1.0 out of 5 stars DISAPPOINTING, October 23, 2005

By	J. Carfagno - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found this book disappointing. I am a solo law practitioner and until now have found Dummies books quite helpful. I particularly wanted to learn how to organize my folders and how to work off-line, and the book has virtually nothing on these subjects. Unlike many other Dummies books, this book has no bibliography of sources for additional help. The book is geared to those who use Outlook on networks at large companies. At times it over explains simple procedures, and at other places it fails to fully explain something or is inaccurate. It does explain well how to use the Contacts and Calendar features. If someone knows of a book that explains well the use of folders in Outlook, I would like to know. This one does not.

4.0 out of 5 stars Techie Help, February 24, 2006

By	Dawn Branston - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Several years ago, before I retired, I used Outlook at my office and was quite comfortable with it. When I became a Comcast customer, they do not "support" Outlook so I used Outlook Express. When I was able to download Outlook, I needed a refresher course in operation and info on the upgraded version that I now had. This book helped in several ways, and I continue to use it as a reference book. It is easy to read and understand.

2.0 out of 5 stars No Set Up Instruction, September 18, 2007

By	Marilyn F. Gardner (IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book tells how to do a lot with Outlook, but doesn't give the reader a clue how to set it up in the first place. Given the technical terms used by ISPs, it would have been useful to have some definitions and examples of setup. I can't use the book until I somehow figure that out.
