Web Parts catalog

Had a question come up last week - where's a good place for finding a catalog of SharePoint web parts? Well, here's a list - some pretty decent stuff. I like the Charting web part, nice way to add charts to WSS v2. Note that these are all for V2/2003.

Outlook 2007 - Deliver Mail to Offline Folder

OK, it's not a post about SharePoint (got one of those coming - workflow - cool stuff) but I was looking & looking for this when it was right in front of me all the time. I like having my Outlook mail pulled off the server & delivered locally. Cached Exchange Mode, yes? In Outlook 2007 to get mail delivered to the Offline folder and downloaded from the server, so that I don't get the dreaded "Mailbox is getting pretty big there dude" message, do the following:

1) Create an offline mail folder
2) Tools / Options / Mail Setup / Data Files
3) Locate your offline folder, click once, then click "Set as Default"
4) Wait whilst your mail downloads....
5) Send you and all your colleages a 25MB attachment!!
