She struggled lots when she got attachments, not knowing how to save them and edit and send back. I moved her email account out of Outlook - got her a gmail id - and she is sooooo much happier now. She does all this online, straight out of gmail. I haven't really transitioned her to chat yet - I do ping her sometimes when i see her online - is fun! For me, I have long killed Outlook - and transferred all my accounts into Gmail. I love it! And now google gears has arrived - wonder whether we will see a much greater shift out of Outlook now.
