Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Less Features, More Cumbersome
Very little change, less features (does not support animated gif's or stationary).

Outlook 2007 now uses Microsoft Word as its rendering engine for all incoming emails. In Outlook 2003 (and earlier), email with animated gif's would look great, because it uses Internet Explorer to render the emails, leaving the HTML alone. However, in Outlook 2007, Microsoft Word literally rewrites your beautiful HTML into Word-like HTML, leaving out the creative touches that used to be available until ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - BCM not really
ZERO STARS***Outlook with BCM is not really a contact manager at all it is just Outlook with a seperate database attached. What is interesting and frustrating is that the software moves from being Outlook to BCM. If you drag and drop a BCM contact onto the calendar and then open the entry it opens as a "Contact" not "BCM Contact" so the options available revert to those of a contact for example you cannot create a history item from the screen that opens even though it was a BCM contact! The calendar ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Outlook and BCM do not share contact information
Outlook with Business Contact Manager is a misnomer. BCM is in reality a bolt-on application that works alongside Outlook with a similar file structure. This would be a fine arrangement except that Outlook and BCM do not integrate together. For example, contacts with the same name in both Outlook and BCM are different contacts and do not share information nor do they synchronize in any way. I use a hosted Outlook Exchange service that keeps my desk and mobile email and contacts synchronized. When I moved ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Lead a stray
The business contact manager info on your website did NOT give any idea that one would need to buy a subscription to make the business Contact Manager function.

I NEVER would have paid extra for this feature if I knew it would incur additional MONTHLY costs!!!!



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Better Off Staying with Older Version
I've had the new version of Outlook for a few months now and have been quite disappointed in it's entire performance. I purchased the version with the business contact manager in order to sync with my Quickbooks information. It turns out it only works with Microsoft's "Money" application. So I decided to keep using it and take advantage of the few usable features I found in it.
To my further disappointment my Word 2002 began freezing if I had Outlook open. I finally had to upgrade to the Office Suite ... Read More
