    The current version is 8.2.2. You can download it here:
    <ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/exchange/exchange-public/fixes/Eng/Exchg5.5/
    SP3/MAC/>

    a) Mostly yes. b) No.

    Yes, you can RAS in and access your mail. I've done it, and it works well.
    See <http://www.macwindows.com/> for details.

    This version of the Outlook Client for Exchange Server will co-exist nicely
    with Office 2001. However, it depends on a three shared libraries that the
    Office 2001 "Office First Run" program removes as outdated and superfluous.
    Back up all the Microsoft shared libraries installed on a given system
    before installing Office 2001 on a machine that already has Outlook.

    Last I heard, the new version of Outlook was still six months away. Can
    anyone confirm this?
