The new interface looks very object-oriented, a good tip is that, though the
OOP may be a good programming practice (????), the users will not often find
that this interface is natural to follow.

Personally I follow a "workflow process" and thus I need to locate the
functions i need in a clumsy way.

Say a natural workflow would be:

1. Recive a mail / categorize the mail / put mail in folder
2. Add the sender to BCM persons
3. Categorize the new entry
3. Add the sender to a distribution list

When I do this now I find it very difficult as the key component "contact"
does not interact naturaly with BCM/Distributionlists.

Can you please describe how such a workflow should work - that would be a
great help for me and pay back the investment in Office2007+BCM.

You might want to post this in the microsoft.public.outlook.bcm group, to get more BCM-specific feedback than you'll get in this group, which is for general Outlook questions.
