<DIV><SPAN class=735374101-12032003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>A few
things Darren. First of all, if you are all moving to an Exchange server,
I would like to HIGHLY recommend TrendMicro's ScanMail, as a server side email
virus protection. We have had it for going on 2 and a half years, and the
reason I am plugging it, is because in that 2 and a half years, we have only had
ONE minor issue with a virus. (A little over a year ago, they had viruses
that attached to the MIME attachment format, which are usually 'run' by Media
Player.....ScanMail let 2 of those through, until we updated the virus
engine.)(There is an Add-in called eManager which allows for filtering spam on
the server level.....(it works better in Exchange 2000, unfortunately we run 5.5
here).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=735374101-12032003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Next,
as to your view points on Outlook. I personally use OE at home. OE
does all that I need...just plain old email. I use Outlook 2000 at work,
and it also does all that I need. (Just plain email <grin>.....I
can't tell you how confused some of my co-workers are when I decline
meetings...because I HATE having a calendar/scheduler in my Outlook...I'm too
frazzled to try and organize! <VBG>). Anyhow, the Rules wizard on
Outlook is actually far more powerful then you may realize. First of all,
a lot of rules set in Outlook 2000 can be set ON THE SERVER. This is very
handy, because it reduces the work that your client machine has to do. As
far as a playing a sound....the rules wizard in Outlook 2000 has a 'play a
sound' option (you can stack as many actions into a rule that you want), and it
let's you select what sound you want to play.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=735374101-12032003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=735374101-12032003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>If you
are using a version older then 2000, I would kick and scream until they let you
use Outlook 2000. In my opinion Outlook 2000 was the most improved
component of the normal Office 2k suite (PowerPoint's conversion of a
presentation to a web page is far superior in 2k over it's 97 version....and
Front Page 2000 leaves it's predecessor in the dust).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=437193000-12032003><FONT face=Verdana size=2>One of my most

<DIV><SPAN class=437193000-12032003><FONT face=Verdana size=2>I could assign a

<DIV><SPAN class=437193000-12032003><FONT face=Verdana size=2>(Outlook calls

<DIV><SPAN class=437193000-12032003><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Like the rest of
you I get about 80 to 120 emails a day. Everything was
filtered,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=437193000-12032003><FONT face=Verdana size=2>I mean
everything, and I had different sound files playing when certain rules cut
in.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=437193000-12032003><FONT face=Verdana size=2>I miss it so
much. All I can do in outlook is activate 1 single sound when any email
arrives. That's it.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=437193000-12032003><FONT face=Verdana size=2>It was a great
