Outlook has a good concept, Ie. sometimes an email should go into a task list, or drop onto a calendar to show that i need to do something regarding that item on a certain day. I am a developer, and what a mess it makes if you have independent applications making you maintain their own address-book or contacts. this is one global thing we humans all keep.. phone book!! our phonebooks contain all kinds of info about people.. i put birthdays, anniversaries, in my paper phonebooks, fax#, cell#, email, lots of notes about the person.. so in electronic world. .that is what i'm looking for.. something simple.. but if I want to set up a meeting or a visit with someone in my address book.. darn it i want them to be in MY ONLY darn address book! Calendar and scheduling is also something I view as very important and needs a common address/contact book.. It drives me nuts that there is not a calendar in TB! I love TB! anyhow, don't get me wrong, but I really need to be able to pull up a calendar or drop an email on a day of the calendar to create a tickler file for the day..... as for full-on scheduling, for businesses they work great, personally I don't use scheduling that much... but email to me is not a stand alone application..and someday the developers will get it together and really make a plug-in able email that you can add whatever vendor's product to. That is my hope. -- Best regards, Laura mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60q FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/
