How much ????, 15 Dec 2007
Are Microsoft mad? This is a very nice piece of software but lets face it, in this day and age, a £25 one. There's absolutely no justification for an e-mail client as popular as this one to be a staggering £80 plus.
I also agree its ludicrous that its not part of the Student edition. The fact that Word, Excel and OneNote combined is cheaper says it all.

Good apart from HTML emails, 11 Aug 2007
I bought this because I had bought a pocket PC PDA and needed to sync it. I had used Outlook 2003 at work so knew it would be a very good organiser for email / calendar/tasks. This 2007 version has a new to-do pane which is very useful, and the new menu system is a bit better (not that 2003 was bad). Biggest reason not to upgrade from 2003 is that Microsoft have changed the engine for displaying HTML emails to a worse one (citing security as the reason). So some emails that showed perfectly in Outlook 2003 become poorly laid out in the 2007 version. Hence 4 not 5 stars. By the way I bought from dabs.com and got next day delivery, Amazon were quoting 4-6 weeks.

If only it was included in Student Edition of Office 2007..., 19 Mar 2007
This is an excellent program! For once, an upgrade really improves on the previous edition. It's a little strange at first, if you're like me and have got so used to working Outlook 2003, but the interface is not only simpler, but better looking and more intuitive.
If you were wondering about upgrading, and have the money, I would strongly recommend!
The only bad thing about the new Office 2007 releases (and the reason I don't give it 5 Stars) is the fact that they didn't include Outlook 2007 with the Student 2007 Office edition - I can pretty much guarantee that students are more likely to need an email program than OneNote (I'm a PhD student, and I can tell you that I've never needed any edition of OneNote, ever, but am fielding emails pretty much all day!). A weird choice from Microsoft.
However, if you're buying from Amazon, buy the Student Office 2007 and Outlook 2007 separately for pretty much the same price as Standard Office, but get the extra program (OneNote - despite it's relative irrelevance). So thank you Amazon for that!
Highly recommeded, as is Office 2007, which I am also finding very user-friendly, despite the lack of a "save" button on the top tool-bar (they expect you to know the shortcut "Ctrl-S"). Other than that, it's so easy to use, a monkey could do it.

Why pay a rip-off price from Microsoft when there are loads of good free email software programs that are just as good ?

A step backwards
I was using outlook from Office XP. Thought it might be worth upgrading. Outlook 2007 seems to be less reliable.
