Outlook/Exchange Server Concerns
Stew | Aug 21 2007
I've just moved into a new job at a new company, one that relies heavily on Outlook. I've never used Outlook on an Exchange server before, and I prefer an analog GTD implementation. Given that I'm pretty much required to use Outlook, I'm wondering whether to migrate my entire system, both work and personal into Outlook. My concern is, how secure is Outlook? Should I be worried about others gaining access to my information? I know I can set events as "private" and such, but what about personal projects, tasks, and contacts? 5 Comments

We use Outlook and I used to synch it with my Palm - thus providing the link between home and work systems. We were supposed to be outsourcing our IT (didn't happen in the end) so I decided that having 'unofficial' programs wasn't clever. As a result I've gone completely analogue, except for the work calendar stuff and stuff that comes in via the email (I don't bother copying them across). It's actually working better than the old system. As for people not using caledaring and such like -- most don't seem to know that you can publish your calendar! (Why that's not the default on our system I don't know). I've never had anyone refuse point-blank when I've asked them to do so. Steve » POSTED IN:
