Microsoft Outlook 98 (License Only) Government, Volume License for PC (543-00918)

Pros: easy to organize and use
Cons: none

I only have this email feature at work but love it so much that I will probably download it for home as well.

Features I love:
A) the sorting feature: it sorts by sender, date, importance, and even subject title! This makes it easier...

Pros: Versatile, customizable to an extent to be more comfortable to the individual
Cons: None

If there is one thing in this world I think we could all use more of, it's TIME. Keeping in mind that it is a finite resource, I'm not one who fancies wasting it with klunky software.

When I initially purchased my computer, it came pre-loaded...

Pros: It works
Cons: Don't dare run any non Microsoft programs with it.

Don't get me wrong. Outlook 98 is a good program with good features, but I'm one of those unreasonable, anal retentive fools who thinks he can buy, load and use OTHER companies' software too. Stupid me. Bungalow Bill has other ideas.
...

Pros: lots of stuff like reminders, tasks, calendar
Cons: bloated, still buggy, hogs resources, costs money

I have MS Office 97. It came with OL 97, but it was bloated, buggy, and hogged resources. When OL 98 was released, and could be downloaded for free if you had Office 97, I thought it would be a big improvement. Well, it wasn't, so DON'T.

My...

Pros: Excellent email manager
Cons: Difficult to tie together contacts, activities and notes

I used to use Microsoft Outlook 98 as my Personal Information Manager, but I still use Microsoft Outlook 2000 for email. As an information manager, Microsoft Outlook allows you to maintain contact information, take notes, have a to-do list and schedule...

Pros: Feature-rich, Convenient, Will Be There For You
Cons: Slow, buggy, limited, badly-designed

I can tell you that there are e-mail clients that are faster, more reliable, far cheaper, more useful, more well-thought-out, and just overall better e-mail clients than Outlook 98. Pegaus e-mail (http://www.pegasus.usa.com/), which is absolutely free,...

Pros: Full-Featured PIM and E-Mail Program
Cons: Slow and Memory-Intensive

Microsoft Outlook 98 is better than the 97 version, so I expect that Outlook 2000 will be even better. Outlook is a personal information manager (PIM) and e-mail client rolled into one. Outlook provides many features (probably more than any individual...

Pros: Good basic PIM and mail client
Cons: Memory hog

Ok, my friends will probably think I'm insane for sitting here writing something praising a Microsoft product, but I am forced to be charitable and give credit where credit is due. For all the bugginess of Windows, the code bloat of Word and Excel, the...

Pros: Nice reliable program.
Cons: Seems to crash sometimes.

I work for NYC and we are always about three years behind the curve when it comes to office equipment and software. Just to give you an example, of what we're still working with, they not only installed the Office '97 package, they thought it...

Pros: Fast. easy to use. good program for those on the go.
Cons: see pros.

Outlook Express: One of the most useful programs for windows 98, it allows you to even check your hotmail accounts. It's simple, quick, and efficent.

Outlook has been chalenged only by Eudora, which does not allow multiple accounts, and does...

Pros: Easy
Cons: None I can think of

Don't like using those free email services such as Hotmail, Excite or the hundreds of others because you have to have another web browser open? Well, Outlook 98 can get your email from these services without you having to have another browser open....

Pros: many features and very useful
Cons: might take awhile to learn everything and get used to it

i used the earlier versions too and this one i am getting to love, i am not from those who would die for microsoft or hate them to the bitter end.
i am a developer and i appreciate good products and dont use ones that arent so good. with all the bad...

Pros: Keeps all old mail
Cons: Too many features to learn

Outlook 98 is an excellent business tool and offers many unique features. First of all the best part about it is that you must delete things twice to really get rid of them, whereas in AOL after you read something, it is gone forever. Outlook keeps...

Pros: Easy to use, lots of options
Cons: None

I have to say that once I started using Outlook, I never wanted to use another email program. The features included in Outlook seem a perfect fit to those that I need. Many people don't use Microsoft products due to it being Microsoft, but there is a...

Pros: The CD makes a nice coaster
Cons: Slow, no multitasking, slow, buggy, slow, crashes often, slow.

In this case, more is definitely not better. Outlook is the worst software package I've ever used. Conceptually, it could be the best. Microsoft Outlook attempts to be the all-in-one personal information manager. You can manage your Contacts, To Do...
