Greetings! Welcome to Vol. 4, No. 8,
of Exchange Messaging Outlook, an occasional newsletter about
Microsoft Exchange, Windows Messaging and Microsoft Outlook, both
for users of Windows 95 and NT 4.0 and for organizations using
Microsoft Exchange Server.
I hope you've seen an uneventful beginning to Y2K. Here in Moscow, the lights stayed on, Internet access remained available, and the traffic didn't get any worse. Today's highlights:
Regular features:
My Year 2000 plan What are we planning to work on at Slipstick Systems this year? I thought that relating my game/study plan might inspire you to make some resolutions of your own. My priorities look something like this: 1. Finish updating the Slipstick Systems web site so that all pages are searchable and updated for Outlook 2000, and continue expanding the Exchange Server content. 2. Install Windows 2000 and Exchange 2000 and start testing! 3. Study XML, WebDav and other technologies that might come in handy for migrating Exchange 5.5 applications to Exchange 2000. 4. Stay involved with the upcoming Office betas -- for Office 2000 Service Release 1 and the next version of Office. After that, I have a host of book, article and development project ideas to pick from. It's going to be tough to decide which to work on! And, if the major release of a new version of Exchange wasn't enough to set the tone for the year, I'll be moving from Moscow back to the Washington, DC, area toward the end of the summer. (Yes, that means I'll be running Windows 2000/Exchange 2000 on my notebook computer.) New books My second Outlook 2000 book -- Microsoft Outlook 2000 E-mail and Fax Guide -- is finally available from Digital Press. This is a complete update of the earlier Microsoft Outlook E-mail and Fax Guide to include details on IMAP folders, LDAP address books, Net Folders collaboration, WinFax SE, and many other new features, plus the essentials of setting up Outlook in standalone, networked and remote environments. Read the complete table of contents and get ordering details at http://www.slipstick.com/books/o2kguide.htm. New on the Developers book page at http://www.slipstick.com/books/dev.htm are two advanced books from Wrox Press, both authored in part by some of my fellow Outlook/Exchange MVPs. Check out Professional CDO Programming and Professional Outlook 2000 Programming. Holiday transmittal form If you haven't yet sent that memo telling everyone about this year's company holiday schedule, check out the latest version of my holiday transmittal form at http://www.slipstick.com/dev/olforms/holiday.htm. You can use it to distribute any kind of appointment information, not just holidays. It's much more flexible than the Outlook.txt method of distributing holidays, because it supports appointments, not just events, and allows you to set the free/busy status for each item. Here's how it works:
We've had a lot of great feedback about this form and plan to add a number of enhancements to make it even more useful:
Thanks to our sponsors The improvements we've been making to the Slipstick Systems site would not be possible without our sponsors. These companies have been generous with their support, and we look forward to continuing our association for some time to come. Please check out the products and services they have to offer:
