new ventures on the email side

Hotmail sucks
The way I use and read email might be drastically changing in the next few days. To start - I’ve had a hotmail account since 1996 and for quite sometime it was my only email account. Over the years I started learning how things work and quickly set up my own website and personalized email account.
Over the years I’ve used my “theparagon.org” email for simply talking with people and companies. My hotmail account was something I used for when signing up for something and didn’t want to receive mass amounts of email.
The problem has been, many people put my hotmail address into their address book. I’ve worked very hard to get people to change their address books but we all know a task like this can only be accomplished by national ruling.
But this week I’m hoping to stop using my hotmail account due to the incredible amount of SPAM I get on an hourly basis.
On the other side
I’m looking to switch from Outlook Express to the much heftier email client - OUTLOOK. Outlook has alot more of what I need such as: calendar (with reminders), task log, journaling area, post-it notes that you can place all over your screen, and much more.
The biggest reason is for the calendar and task log use. I finally set everything up on my laptop for testing and hoping to completely switch all my computers very soon.
There are a couple things that I’m trying to figure out though with Outlook. Such as - setting up Identity Switching. I’ll hopefully figure it out soon but if any of you have any tips on Outlook I would love to hear them.

You should really try to setup a Microsoft Exchange server at your house. That way, you could have multiple computers hooked up and housing all the data on the server. You could also have multiple identities.
