You're the first person I know who doesn't live on Outlook. I'm amazed by such possibility. Thank you for motivating me to experiment Outlook-less environment.
IMHO, Outlook 2007's design is fundamentally wrong, treating Outlook items (objects) as completely isolated islands. For example, if you wish to finds all items (objects) related to Kinook including all appointments, tasks and emails, that's impossible in OL2007 now unless Windows Search is installed. The latter consumes enormous CPU and memory resources.

On the other hand, UR's design is fundamentally sound, modern, robust, humanistic, and pragmatic.

BTW, how about the email? Which software do you use? Is it Thurderbird 2?

Thanks for sharing your user experience with us.
