Gross. I would never ever ever run a Microsoft Exchange Server. Ever. My Outlook is a POP client. > RE. 4a: Type the name into the TO line of the message and > hit CTRL-K.

I have been using Outlook for at least four years as an email client and there are always options in large-scale programs that people aren't always aware of.
