\paperw8640 \margr0\margl0\ATXph0 \plain \fs20 \f1 As its name suggests, Outlook's Inbox is a central holding bay for all of your e-mail and, in practice, is much more flexible
than any of its predecessors or competitors. The program is closely allied with the other Office applications, so if you type an e-mail address in a Word document, for instance, it becomes an intelligent and live Internet hotlink which, if double-clicke
d with the mouse, invokes an e-mail within Outlook to this recipient. Fill in the e-mail, click the send button and off it goes. \par

A particularly natty new feature of Outlook's Inbox is the info box which appears at the top of every e-mail (and
diary event, contacts and other areas within Outlook). This helps to keep track of all e-mails received each day, and keeps account of which ones have been replied to. It even tells you whether people have accepted or declined meeting requests and preci
sely when mails were replied to, down to the exact minute.
