You’ll find in this Book:
Part I, Getting Started with Microsoft Outlook 2003, provides you with an in-depth look at the features of Outlook. You learn about each of the major areas of the program, what’s new in the latest versions, and how to install and configure Outlook so that it works the best for your needs.
Part II, Mastering E-mail, takes you from the basics of e-mail into both intermediate and advanced topics. You learn how to create, send, and receive e-mail messages, including messages that have attachments. You see how to make your e-mail messages stand out, and how to have Outlook automatically process certain messages for you. You learn how to create and use distribution lists so that e-mailing a group is just as easy as e-mailing one person.
Part III, Information Manager, teaches you about Outlook’s little known but extremely useful features. You learn about contact management, scheduling, to-do lists, document activity tracking, and electronic sticky notes. You also learn how you can use the Outlook Newsreader to access tens of thousands of Internet newsgroups so you can view a vast array of information that you won’t find anywhere else.
Part IV, Getting the Most out of Outlook 2003, shows you how to customize Outlook so that it works for you the way you want it to. These chapters also show you how to share Outlook information with other people and how to use Outlook with other programs.
Part V, Managing Outlook Users, helps you manage Outlook for multiple users, with a focus on Exchange Server. This part covers roaming users, provides virus protection and spam filtering, implements change control with group policy, and provides security and backup for Outlook data.
Part VI, Basics of Microsoft Outlook 2003, is the first of two parts focused on developing custom applications using Outlook 2003 and its related technologies. After getting a general overview of the different types of applications you can create with Outlook, you learn the elements of a simple Outlook form and how to create one. You also learn the specifics behind each of the various form controls and how to use them, and know what custom fields are and when they are appropriate.
Part VII, Advanced Messaging Development, covers advanced application development tasks within Outlook 2003 and its related technologies. These chapters describe how to incorporate Exchange folders into your applications effectively, provide an introduction to collaborative messaging, and introduce the Outlook 2003 Object Model. You also learn how to incorporate COM add-ins into Outlook 2003, what Collaborative Data Objects and Exchange Routing Objects are, and when they are appropriate to use.
Part VIII, Advanced Outlook Administration, covers ways in which the business user or system administrator can benefit from Outlook’s extended features, including the Microsoft Outlook Business Manager and Outlook Web Access feature. With the Outlook Business Manager, for example, readers learn how to manage business-related contact information and track sales opportunities. This part also covers ways in which advanced users or system administrators can optimize the Outlook installations.
