    This is NOT integrating the tasks INTO the calendar. This is displaying them side by side in a few different formats. I need to have them INTEGRATED for ease of use and printing purposes!

    Is there a way to use the calendar and task features in Outlook without being able to access my emails? I want to continue to use both the calendar and task management systems, but my emails tend to suck me in, and I waste productive time during the day checking emails. I'd rather check my emails three times a day. You may be thinking, just don't open your emails. For me, it's not that simple.
