Microsoft always came up with outstanding features – be it its Windows versions or Outlook PIM versions. 

Next outlook version – 8.5, better known as Outlook 98, arrived with the mounting of Windows 98. Better features, more security, more user-centric interface and much more stuff to rejoice a professional PIM experience. Outlook 98 was followed by Outlook 2002, Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, Outlook 2010, Outlook 2011, Outlook 2013 and few others.
