>So...Neil and Dian...you think Outlook 2003 is really bugproof enuf = that I could use it as my default email program without too much worry? =20 I've been using it as my default email since January...no problems! BTW...as for email on two systems, you can do what I do...I have my = email set up on my big Micron and when I want to use the laptop to check = mail...I double click my remote desktop icon on my desktop and my laptop screen = turns into my desktop system...just as if I was sitting at my desk. So I can open/handle email from the same location from bed, kitchen, deck, living room...as far as the signal lets me. If you have WinXP Pro, you can do a remote desktop connection from the = new system to your other system and then just toss a quickie icon on the old = one to swap it out to the new one. Way cool!

Johnson Sent: Saturday, June 21, 2003 7:06 PM To: MSO Freelist Group Well...this actually wasn't so bad...I just did what Neil said and = deleted my old profile and created a new one, then "opened" the 2002 pst in 2003....but here's the coolest thing...normally when I have to move my = rules from one machine to another, I export them to a file on one machine and import them on the new machine, and they always come thru but I have to reassociate them with the folders all over again....this time I imported = the rules and they were automatically associated with the folders in the pst file I opened in here...so all of my mail, folders, and rules are now in 2003 and actually seem to be working and it only took about 2 minutes. Now, I need to decide which machine I want to use for email. Hmmmm....decisions decisions...I could use both, but I hate it when my = email is spread out over multiple machines...bad enuf that my programs and = files are that way LOL So...Neil and Dian...you think Outlook 2003 is really bugproof enuf that = I could use it as my default email program without too much worry? (Of course, this depends on whether Email Saver XE and Spam Inspector are compatible with 2003 cuz I can't live without them...so, I guess that's = what I need to find out first.) So, far I like the look of 2003...but that's really all I've had a = chance to explore.
