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 includes2 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.
