Outlook is software that lets you not only send, receive, and manage e-mail, but also manage your calendar and contacts, such as friends and business associates.
Moreover, you can also share your calendar with family and colleagues via the Internet.
Outlook is a part of "Office", a suite of products combining several types of software for creating documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, and for managing e-mail.
Tip: Why is it called "Office"?
You might wonder why document creation and spreadsheet software that you use at home are a part of a suite of software called "Office". There is a historical reason for this. Previously, document creation and spreadsheet software were used primarily for work. The software was combined into a suite of software for work so it was called "Office". Since then, personal computers have become popular even in the home, but the software suite, which combines document creation and spreadsheet software, is still called "Office".
Tip: Referring to Outlook
Outlook is usually referred to as "Outlook" in the software screens and help. It is also referred to sometimes as "Microsoft Office", "Office Outlook" or "Microsoft Office Outlook 2007". They all represent Outlook.
Tip: Outlook can manage various information
Of course, Outlook can manage not only your e-mail, contacts, and calendar centrally, but can also manage all the information you exchange using your computer, such as news and blog articles distributed on the Internet and instant message service chat sessions. Additionally, if you add features, you can manage information exchanged using a cellular phone, IP-Phone, and a personal digital assistant (PDA or Smartphone) loaded with Windows Mobile.
