False. You didn't read carefully enough. You ignored the disclaimer: "In
certain configurations. " That disclaimer referred to Outlook 2000 in IMO
mode,
*You* didn't read carefully enough, and I really doubt you've ever even
tried it -- and I really don't care for your tone! Why don't you give it
another read? What you're saying is 180 degrees out from that article.
(Rude and mistaken at the same time is a really bad combination.)
which was actually Outlook Express.
That cannot possibly be the case, Outlook 2000 in any mode is not
"actually Outlook Express", it has the Outlook UI, complete with calendar,
task, notes and journal functionality. Also its MAPI interface is not an
extremely limited subset. None of these are true of Outlook Express.
What's more, it lacks the extra functionality that Outlook Express does
have, including the HTML editor and ability to view raw SMTP source.
They are two entirely different products -- where on earth did you get
such a crazy idea? That's the biggest wad of hooey I've seen in some time.
What you claim
What I've observed...
does not occur in valid installations of Outlook 2003 unless you upgraded
from IMO and have a corrupt profile.
Firstly, from what I can see, there is no IMO in Outlook 2003, I just
installed fresh it on a virtual, and the default installation gives you 5
different email server types (including IMAP and Exchange Server) when you
add an account. Also, I do not see the "Reconfigure Mail" button anywhere
in the options dialog. Further still, a search of MSDN for IMO returns a
number of hits, all of them are either exclusively about OL2000, or include
sentences similar to this: "For Outlook 2000, you can install Outlook in the
Internet Mail Only (IMO) mode."
And the proof in the pudding is that, on a brand new, squeaky-clean
installation, absolutely nothing corrupt about it at all, setting the
UseOutlook registry config item WORKS.
The menu item I mentioned may well tie back to something in OL2000; clearly,
if you read and comprehend the Slipstick article, the functionality is
read-only in OL2000...
So, based on observations, testing multiple different configurations, what
you claim differs from what I've observed.
What are your statements based on?

I have a dilemma: I want to use Outlook for all my mail but todate, I
found been advised that if I try to view my Hotmail account, I have to
"live" with the way the screen appears to "refresh" when you view the
Inbox and Bulk Mail. I view those 2 folders the most and hardly ever use
my default email account. This I find very diffictult on the eye. I
need Outlook because I sync all my Contacts with my mobile phone.
My initial thoughts were : I would use OE to send and receive for the
Hotmail and Default mail account. I would set it so that the email
addresses are added to the WAB and therefore it would update Outlook (I
thought, but you have advised it is not possible to enter contacts in
the WAB and expect Outlook to be updated).
Whoa, hold the phone... a.) that Slipstick article explicitly states that
new contacts entered in OE are also seen in Outlook, and; b.) I just
tried it, and it works here. (Outlook 2003; OE6)
I didn't enable it using RegEdit, though, I just used the Tools -
Options menu in the OE Address Book window.
So possibly worth another look before you write this avenue off.

Then I thought my Contacts would all be in one place and then be able to
sync with my mobile.
I also only want one Contacts list, and I want to use Outlook. What's
the best way of deleteing the WAB file - manaully select all or just
delete the WAB file itself?
Have others had the same problem and is there an easy solution?
Cheers.

You misunderstand. That key allows Outlook to share with the WAB, not
the reverse.

Hi
I am following instructions using
http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/oeshare.htm and have entered a DWORD
named UseOutlook=1 in the registry. Then added a new Contact to OE
(ver 6) and it did not appear in Outlook (2000) default contacts
folder. The Outlook.exe is not running in Task Manager.
Any ideas as to what went wrong? Thank you.
