Crash course? IMHO Outlook is one of the most difficult and cantankerous email packages around. It has a quirky interface, hides commonly used options, and is just plain cluttered. Pegasus or Eudora are both free, reasonablly secure (Fort Knox in comparison to Outlook) and they both have and interface that is clear, crisp, uncluttered and easy to navigate. And whats this crap about late 50s? Friends don't let friends drive Outlook. Less than 1% of outlook users actually USE any of the collaborative features. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
