Product Description
Print less, read more.
Outlook 2003 makes it easier and more comfortable to read e-mail messages online, including long messages. The Reading Pane has been moved to the right side of the screen to display twice as much content and reduce scrolling when you read long messages online.
Save time and find messages faster.
Find e-mail messages more easily by grouping messages by date, size, conversation, subject, importance, or other criteria.
Organize your Inbox.
You no longer have to keep all e-mail messages in your Inbox to remind you of action items. Instead, use Quick Flags to flag messages by priority or time sensitivity and find them in whichever folder they reside.
Prevent junk mail.
The new Junk E-Mail Filter can help you prevent junk e-mail messages from cluttering your Inbox. Read e-mail messages regardless of the connection.
The new Cached Exchange Mode downloads messages and other Outlook data to your computer so you can remain productive during network downtime. Cached Exchange Mode requires a connection to Exchange Server 2003.
Connection awareness.
Indicate if you have a fast or slow connection—or have Outlook detect it for you. Outlook adapts its performance by displaying either a preview of a message or the full message, depending on the network speed.
Find facts quickly.
No need to leave your e-mail to do research—the new Research task pane brings electronic dictionaries, thesauruses, and online research sites into Outlook so that you can find information and incorporate it into your messages. Some functionality in the Research task pane requires a connection to the Internet.
Control distribution of sensitive work.
Help protect your company assets by preventing recipients from forwarding, copying, or printing important e-mail messages by using information rights management (IRM) functionality. You can even specify an expiration date for
the message, after which it cannot be viewed or otherwise acted upon. IRM functionality requires Microsoft Windows Server 2003 running Microsoft Windows Rights Management Services (RMS).
Work together better.
Save e-mail message attachments to shared workspaces where other team members can get the latest versions, check files in or out, or even save task lists, related files, links, and member lists. You can even tell whether team
members are online and then use IM to send them a message. Shared workspaces require Windows Server 2003 running Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services.
Spend less time coordinating schedules.
Access shared team calendars in Outlook and view multiple calendars side by side to make scheduling meetings fast and more convenient. You can view your own work and personal calendars, calendars in Windows SharePoint Services, or the calendars of others who have granted you viewing rights. Sharing team calendars requires Windows Server 2003 running Windows SharePoint Services.
Go mobile.
If you own and use a Tablet PC, you can use ink markup to annotate e-mail messages in your own handwriting with a pen input device. You can write notes for personal use or e-mail messages to send to others.
