Outlook Today is your homepage when you’re using Outlook 2003. It will show you not only the date, but also appointments for that day, tasks you have created, and e-mail messages that are in your inbox, drafts, and outbox. If you can’t see Outlook Today, just click on Personal Folders in the Navigation Pane (it’s at the very top of the list of folders).

 

 

 

What if you don’t like how Outlook Today looks? That’s what the customize button is for! You can click Customize Outlook Today, located in the top right hand of the screen, above the Messages section to configure available options.
