    The only thing fax4Outlook ever did was copy faxes from the Fax Console
    Inbox to the Outlook Inbox.

    Surely by now you've realized that Windows XP Fax is bare bones fax
    software. That's all it was ever intended to be. Nowhere have I seen
    Microsoft promise that Windows XP Fax would be all that you'd ever need in
    fax software. Routing to Outlook's Inbox and other integration with Outlook
    has been all but eliminated.

    I really think Microsoft was leaving it to third party vendors to develop
    and provide full featured fax software for Windows XP. Since no one seems to
    have done so, it now becomes a matter of speculation as to whether
    Microsoft's Fax and Outlook developers will try to fill this void in
    upcoming versions. That all depends on the perceived market I suspect. Tell
    them what you think. You can send Outlook feature requests to
    mswish@microsoft.com with "Outlook" in the subject and to
    outwish@microsoft.com
