Yes but even in the "powerful" Office Outlook 2003 I still cannot achieve some simple things that would have made my life much easier. Perhaps, from your experience managing so much mail at Microsoft, you may be able to suggest some alternatives / solutions.
Example1:
In my calender folders I want to apply a view which will:Show all appointments arranged by Start date.Show all future (active) appointments. But:Do not show any future (active) appointment which is:1. A holiday, 2. A birthday or 3. An Aniversary. ie. has one of these three categories.I hope that these desires of mine are not considered by Microsoft as too extreme. After all, it is quite natural to want to see only your future appointments except if they concern birthdays or holidays. Why shouldI be force to view eg. holidays as well?The issue is that this desire of mine cannot be realised. I tried the following SQL statement in the Filter dialogbox of a new view I created:("urn:schemas:calendar:dtstart" >= 'today' AND "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office#Keywords" <> 'Aniversaries' AND "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office#Keywords" <> 'Holidays' AND "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office#Keywords" <> 'Birthdays')The AND between the Categories does not work! Why? Only the OR operator works which is stupid since if you say not Birthdays or not Aniversaries etc, everything will be included. Whilst you should be able to say not Birthdays AND not Aniversaries, etc to get the desired results.

Example2:
In the Inbox I want to create a view showing all the e-mail which is up to one week old and also all e-mails that have not been read. How can I do that?The Filter dialogbox does not allow you to say:1. show e-mail that has been Read and which is in the last week,and also,2. show e-mail that is Unread regardless of date.Even Outlook Express could do that. Why not Office Outlook with its rich viewing options?Thanks.

Trackbacks didn't work, so I'm trying the old-fashioned approach :) Commentary here: http://blogs.msdn.com/jonathanh/archive/2005/06/25/432744.aspx
