Future support for old (2002) Outlook?

[Nigel Rotherham]

Greetings from sunny South Africa :-)

Maybe 'strange' to non Jello users but I am in process of migrating
FROM Thunderbird to Outlook for two reasons (ease of sync with phone
and PDA + JELLO!) and would like to confirm that future (upcoming v5?)
releases of Jello (current release is a FANTASTIC tool being as I wish
to fully implement GTD methodologies...hence move to Outlook!) will be
compatible with Outlook 2002 otherwise my efforts to implement GTD
using Jello / Outlook could be limited?

Have considered an 'upgrade' to OL 2003 (cost is a major factor and as
I already have legal copy of OL 2002 unless very good reason to change
(any advice from users?) than will stay with 2002. It is possible to
obtain a discounted (discontinued product) price for OL 2003 (and 2007
is WAY too expensive) but if future Jello ok with 2002 then that is
what I will use (still very much on learning curve...)!

Any and all feedback / advice / recommendations will be MUCH
appreciated.

Best regards from Nigel R

Nigel, I suggest you beg, borrow, steal (just kidding) a copy of 2003 at the
very least. The improvement was significant in the areas of flexibility and
filing processes. If you can manage a copy 2007 is much better still. Try
some of the online sellers and see if they have "student" versions.

Regards,
Paul

The basic functionality of the new version (5) will support Outlook 2002 normally. You won't be able to use search folders, outlook preview panes and category/context updates (so far).

Still I need to test it with on OL2002 to find out more.

Hi Nicolas / Paul :-)

Thanks for feedback. Obtaining update to OL is expensive and as not
sure how 'improved' functionality will impact "how things done" then
need to first be sure is where I will spend limited $$$ <grin> Have
located a copy of 2003 with unopened / unused license but disk(s) are
missing...[dealer is 'searching'] It is the Small Business Edition and
'may' have extra value for me (i.e. justification to buy] but as
already using 'Open Office' (for a l-o-n-g time and is working fine
for what I need [except missing the Outlook component hence this
discussion] not sure if move back to MS applications as a suite is
correct... If just OL then cost is very high - sigh...

Nicolas: Will be MORE than happy to provide OL 2002 platform for
'testing'! Would perhaps require some 'guidelines' from you to ensure
I indeed test area's that 'may' be cause for concern / specific to
OL2002 that otherwise could be overlooked if reliant on how I use the
Jello interface... Will await your feedback if / when appropriate

Anyone else care to provide feedback re limitations of OL 2002?

Very best regards from sunny (and hot) South Africa :-)
