Microsoft Outlook® version 2002 makes it easier to manage your e-mail messages, contacts, tasks, and appointments from one place. Access Web–based e-mail accounts. Send instant messages. Schedule meetings. Whatever your communication needs, Outlook lets you work smarter and faster.
Outlook 2002 can help you manage your time and information more effectively, while making it easier to create and share information with others.
Manage All Your E-Mail Accounts in One Place
Now you can send and receive e-mail messages from all your work and personal accounts—even Web–based e-mail accounts such as MSN® Hotmail®—without leaving Outlook.
Let Outlook Fill in the Blanks
As you type a previously used e-mail address, Outlook automatically recognizes it and completes the name, eliminating the need to look it up or rely on your memory.
Create E-Mail with the Power of Word
When you use Word as your e-mail editor, you can take advantage of smart tags that provide editing features—AutoCorrect, Paste Options, Address, Name, Date, and custom smart tags—when and where you need them.
Blaze Through Your Inbox
The improved Preview Pane lets you follow a hyperlink, respond to meeting requests, and display the properties of an e-mail address—all without opening the message.
Make Sense of All Your Reminders
Now, a single reminder window provides a better way to manage your appointments and tasks. This integrated "to-do" list allows you to dismiss, snooze, or open one or all reminders at once.
See When Your Team Is Free or Busy
Coordinate busy schedules the easy way. In a single view, find free and busy times for each team member, and locate an available meeting area. Then, send e-mail or a meeting request to the entire group.
Don't Decline—Propose a New Time
Now, if you receive a meeting request and are unavailable, you can quickly see all other invitees' schedules and suggest a new meeting time in your response.
Make Key Appointments Stand Out
Apply a color to individual or recurring appointments. That way, you can identify important items at a glance when you look at your calendar.
