Outlook on Vista

Can outlook be run on vista? I need a calendar solution - something that's
compatible with my blackberry and windows calendar is not, so I'm trying to
figure out if I can use outlook with vista.
 
Outlook 2007 works fine with Vista. I'm not sure about earlier versions
because I haven't personally tried them.

Yes it can.

Sometimes.

Depends on which version.

You never mentioned which version you have.

Care to mention it?
 
My Outlook 2003 works fine on Vista 32 Home Premium, but I only use it for
the calendar.

2003 is fine - the further you go back the more problems you run into!
 
All versions run but only 2003/2007 is fully compatible
Older versions lose account passwords

Which version?

Outlook 2003 runs fine on Vista.

Are you certain that the Vista Windows Calendar is incompatible with the
Blackberry? I don't own one, but that seems odd, considering how popular the
Blackberry is, and that MS is trying to make Vista the most widely used OS.

Return address scrambled. Replace nkbob with bobkn.

Thanks for that, Gordon. I though Outlook 2003 would work but not having
tried it I decided to err on the side of caution and not suggest it as
possible candidate.

I meant with versions of Outlook.
 
Outlook is the biggest piece of INSECURE crap no matter what OS is runs
on top of. It is total garbage. It cannot compare to Thunderbird.
