Thanks for explaining... now I get it! While it's true Mailstreet provides
you with a free copy, I had already purchased Office on my own... That means
I am not a pirate... Good! If I understand correctly, I should be able to use
Outlook 2007 as a standalone which would access my Internet connection
without the need for Exchange. I'll follow your advice with the PST files.
Have a great day! Chris
