I have outlook at work, and I use the reminders a lot for contract deadlines, etc. I have problems remembering people's birthdays and other events, and I was thinking maybe I should get outlook or something similar for at home. I also like the contacts list thingy. Thing is, I'm definitely not buying outlook, so is there something built into XP that will pop up reminders and whatnot? Or is there something I could get for free that'd do that?

 

outlook express?

 

free?

 

express comes with windows

i know mail.yahoo has a calendar thingy
i havent used it but i would assume it popups a reminder

 

yep should be part of XP

 

google calendar. i heard its great.

 

yeah outlook express r0xors.

If you search download.com you will definetely find some good freeware mail programs that include a contact list.
