Microsoft Outlook is a very popular email, contact and calendar management software program, and Yahoo! is a leading search engine and email service provider. Yahoo! also offers its own calendar, and it may be easier to access for some users when they are away from their own computer because they can do so at any computer with Internet access. For seamless use of both calendars, you can import and export data between the two.
