Here's an article I just wrote that addresses the questions in the FixOutlook storm about using Word to render HTML mail in Outlook 2010.
If you're running Outlook 2007 then you most certainly want to download and install the Service Pack 2 for Office 2007. This supercedes the February 2009 Cumulative Update which included a number of performance and stability enhancements - all of those changes and updates are included in SP2.
Full List of Improvements in SP2 for Outlook 2007
Note: After you install SP2 - the first time Outlook runs it may start up unusually slowly. This is especially the case if you didn't install the February 2009 Cumulative Update. Also once you have Outlook running it might seem sluggish for a while. Many users (including me) are finding that after SP2 is installed the Windows Desktop Indexer wants to take a whole new pass at the Outlook Data file and so Outlook might be a little slow while the store is reindexed for searching. Be patient, once it's done (took about half a day for my 3GB+ store) performance should be quite good again.
Reminders in Outlook CAN fire out of the subfolders. To do that you either need to have Outlook 2007 or you need to get Ken Slovak's Reminder Manager tool.

Here are some useful resources for lawyers to use for more information on Microsoft Outlook
Microsoft has free support newsgroups available for nearly every product they make. In these newsgroups you can read questions and answers that other people have posted for the product or you can post your own questions and get answers from the other posters.
| NNTPNNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol) is the traditional way of accessing newsgroups. The traditional Microsoft program for NNTP is Outlook Express though in Vista this has been upgraded and renamed to "Windows Mail".

These are the same newsgroups you get via NNTP, just in a web browser. Click the links below to open the Microsoft Outlook newsgroups in your web browser: |
