Pardon me if this sounds like a dumb question. I have an iMac that runs on Mac OS 9.0. I read a review for Outlook 2001 in the online version of MacWorld Magazine (http://www.macworld.com). The writer of the review made a remark indicating that I would have to have Microsoft Exchange Server if I wanted to use Outlook 2001. Do I understand that correctly? Does this mean I cannot simply download Outlook 2001 and use it as a stand-alone Internet e-mail client (like its "little brother", Outlook Express)? I am asking this question because I was thinking of downloading Microsoft Outlook 2001. But if I cannot use it in any way without MS Exchange Server, then I guess there isn't any point in me downloading it, is there? At any rate, thanks in advance for answering my question! :) -- Mark Harvey kideosynchrocyNOSPAM@hotmail.com * For direct replies, take the 'NOSPAM' out of my e-mail address! ;)

Mac Outlook is for Exchange only. It is not capable of accessing non-Exchange accounts. -- Adam Bailey | Chicago, Illinois adamb@lull.org | Finger/Web for PGP & S/MIME adamkb@aol.com | http://www.lull.org/adam
