The trouble is, once you get a lot of stuff in a system, you're a little locked in - rather like cameras! I used to use Organizer, and liked it a lot, but then found I had a long contract where I had to synchronise with the client's Outlook system, so made the switch. The advantage of Outlook, of course, is that the Journal facility helps to keep track of what one is working on, when using Office products. I don't use Outlook for emails, having once had a loss of a mass of stuff when the backup/restore failed.

I still use Lotus Organiser. Much nice than Outlook - though of course it's not an email program.

Shel,

it doesn't require MS Office. Office is merely a name they give to a suite of interrelated programs, but Outlook can be run perfectly well without the
other programs.

It may be a bigger program than you really want, but if you can, try a demo either by downloading or sending for their free demo, trying it in a shop, or perhaps asking any friend who might have a copy. I'm not sure why John thinks it's free, but you can buy legit 2nd-hand copies for not much money.
