I downloaded the Outlook 2001 for Macintosh Beta and installed it this
morning at work. I was quite happy to see the improvements from Outlook 8.2
for the Macintosh. Even though it is a beta it appears quite complete. Is
there any commonality between the Entourage and the Outlook development
teams? There are a couple of user interface things in Outlook that would be
nice to have in Entourage and several from Entourage that I would like to
see in Outlook before I commit to using it full time.
Does anybody know of a mailing list for users of the beta Outlook product?
By the way, the print problem that I was having is gone with Outlook 2001,
so I guess it is still something that Windows Outlook or the Exchange Server
puts into some e-mails that Entourage chokes on.
