View Mail and (Calendar or Contacts) simultaneously

I regularly want to look at my email and either contacts or calendar (a whole
month worth) simultaneously. Can that be done? I have two monitors so plenty
of screen real estate. Even quick switching between the two is highly
inconvenient.
The only way I found is to use Microsoft Virtual PC and have another
instance of XP running with Outlook there but that is also inconvenient.
Is there a simpler way?

Kind Regards,

Christoph

yes there is a simple way - right click the extra folder and chose open in a
new window. eg open the calendar in the second window, drag it to screen 2.

you're welcome - right click everywhere as your first choice to try to find
a function in Outlook. It's frequently the solution.
