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?
