I have OfficeXP (2002?) installed and most of it - word,excel,powerpoint do
what I want. However I see that most of the references to Outlook refer to
2003 or 2007 versions. As a home user dealing with <10 emails a day and
most of the spam labelled by my isp (and easy to filter) is there anything
that later version of Outlook do that would make it worth the expense of
upgrading?
The alternative seems to be to use Thunderbird Mail and Sunbird Calendar,
but I have got MSoffice and it seems daft not to use it.

I don't see why you can't continue using for the time being. Note that it's
an older version of Office and so there will come a time when Microsoft won't
put out any patches or security updates for it. Eventually it may become a
security risk.

Office XP – Microsoft will continue to offer mainstream support for Office
XP through July 11, 2006. The extended support period for Office XP will last
from July 12, 2006 through July 12, 2011.

In my opinion, no.
