TECH: OutLook vs OE Thanks

[Wanda Nall <wpnall@YAHOO.COM>]

Thanks to those who responded to my question
concerning the differences between Outlook and OE.

I have received the following replies and this will
help me make my decision.

One difference is that OE can access newsgroups, and
Outlook doesn't.

Maybe you've already gotten a reply on this. But OE is
strictly for email management. The full Outlook
includes calendar and schedule functionality. It's a
"personal information manager."

Outlook Express is a stripped down version that does
email, and you
have an
address book. Outlook has a calendar function, a much
more
sophisticated
contact manager program, and task manager. In LAN
versions, it is also
possible to set it up to synchronize appointments with
other people on
the
system.

Outlook is "industrial strength" and therefore built
for major/large
organizations and their information management needs.
For example, a
purchasing department's software package could
automatically interact
with
the organization's Outlook accounts (whether by
importing them or
Outlook
exporting the data). Our district uses Lotus Notes,
the other biggie,
and
does so because Outlook is so virus/worm prone due to
it's prevalence
(as
is OE). Notes has a bulit-in threading/discussion
capability for
tracking
who sends what to whom, and responses. I would imagine
Outlook does,
too.
Outlook for home use, or by an individual's own
preference, might be
considered overkill. On the other hand, there might be
features to be
used. Outlook costs, OE doesn't.
