Welcome to Outlook 2003

Outlook 2003 is the first major overhaul of Outlook since it was released as Outlook 97. Sure, there have been changes since then. Some of the most notable are there are no longer three separate modes of Outlook: No E-mail, Corporate/Workgroup, and Internet Only. Microsoft has implemented security measures in Outlook that have been described with words as negative as draconian and idiotic as well as words as positive as necessary and smart. Previously marketed largely as a client for Exchange, Outlook has grown into a program capable of standing on its own two feet.

I first started working with Outlook shortly after Outlook 97 was released. Thankfully, Outlook 98 followed shortly on its heels. Since then I've watched Outlook grow and evolve into a first-rate personal information manager and robust capable email client. I think Outlook 2003 is the best version of Outlook yet. As soon I installed the very first beta copy, I fell in love. I hope you enjoy Outlook 2003 as much as I do.
