Microsoft Launches Microsoft Office Outlook Live

 
 

Microsoft Office Outlook Live combines the strengths of Microsoft Office Outlook and MSN Hotmail to help consumers more efficiently manage their e-mail and personal information. Outlook Live connects MSN Hotmail with the advanced e-mail tools found in Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 for Subscription Services, a new downloadable subscription version of Microsoft Office Outlook 2003, enabling consumers to manage their multiple* e-mail accounts, contacts, calendars and other online information all in one place.

Microsoft Office Outlook Live

Outlook Live features enable users to do the following:

  • Getting started easily. In 15 minutes or less, customers can sign up, install and start using Outlook Live with their MSN Hotmail account. Customers can easily download this new version of Outlook for Subscription Services, streamlined to 60 MB, or install it using a CD if they have a dial-up connection.
  • Storing and sharing more information. Outlook Live allows customers to send attachments up to 20 MB and includes 2 GB of online storage and virtually unlimited offline storage (depending on hard drive space) so customers can save even more photos, files and important messages. In addition, they can manage that information with the advanced Outlook tools that also are included in their subscription.
  • Staying organized and efficient. Using Microsoft Office Outlook, customers can access, send and receive e-mail messages from multiple e-mail accounts* and manage different calendars and sets of contacts, such as work and personal. The powerful Outlook organization features make it easy to search and organize messages across accounts by grouping them by date, size, conversation, subject, importance or other criteria. Customers also can schedule meetings, keep track of their calendar or even share calendars with other Hotmail or MSN e-mail subscribers, viewing them side-by-side on a single screen.
  • Staying in sync any time, anywhere. With Outlook Live, any updates made -- from deleting messages and adding a new contact to scheduling a meeting or creating a new task -- using Outlook are automatically synchronized and reflected in customers' MSN Mail or MSN Hotmail accounts when they are online. Even changes made or e-mail messages composed while working offline are captured and completed when the customer signs back online, so they never have to worry about staying up to date. Best of all, customers can access this information virtually anywhere from http://www.hotmail.com.
  • Staying protected. With Outlook Live, customers are more protected with automatically updated e-mail anti-virus software, which scans for and helps eliminate harmful viruses before they reach the computer. In addition, improved and regularly updated junk e-mail filters in Outlook 2003 and MSN Hotmail, built on patented Microsoft SmartScreen (TM) Technology, help reduce unwanted spam e-mail. Customers even can set up automatic blocking of up to 500 addresses or domains and enjoy a graphical ad-free e-mail experience.

System Requirements and Recommendations

Customers need the following to run Outlook Live:

  • Internet functionality via dial-up or broadband Internet access (provided separately); local or long-distance charges may apply
  • Personal computer with Intel Pentium 233MHz or better processor (Pentium III or better recommended) running one of the following systems: Windows® 2000 with Service Pack 3, Windows XP or later

  • 28.8Kbps or faster modem
  • Super VGA (800x600) or higher-resolution display
