I upgraded from Office2k Office2003 & recently Office2007, in each case
I found OL much improved. The calender/tasks/appointments works fine for me

I am running Vista and was unable to get my old Office 2000 calendar to
work (Word and Excel are fine). The built-in Windows Mail and Windows
calendar in Vista suck. Calendar regularly fails to alert me to
appointments and Mail intermittently loses email bodies when I move them
into folders (the header looks OK but the body is from a different email).
Under XP I was running Outlook Express.

The office 2000 problems might be solvable but I don't have good
documentation and have questionable right to use the product anyway (no
longer working for the company that provided it). So I've considered
buying Outlook 2007. Reading the colorful descriptions of the product it
tells me wonderful things it can do but finding out exactly how it
performs vanilla tasks like calendar and email gets lost in the glitz. I
am assuming I can interface with my POP3 mail accounts and perhaps web
mail accounts and I'm also assuming its calendar is as good or better than
the one in Office 2000. I'd also like the calendar to be sharable between
two or more accounts but separate accounts have their own email spaces.

Will Outlook 2007 do these things for me?
