1. what's the max size of attachment for sending email?

That would depend on your mail server/ISP.

2. newMail notifitor: when there is a new mail, can the tary be changed to
other until i check the mail? can it work with hotmail?

Don't understand the first part but, no, notification is not possible
on a Hotmail account.

to Q2, i mean tray icon on the start-bar.
of course, hotmail don't have such function. but what if i work with outlook
2003?

I don't have a hotmail account but I believe that Outlook alerts based on
new messages in the inbox regardless of the account they were received
through. I could be wrong however, you may want to configure your hotmail
account and test it.

1. what's the max size of attachment for sending email?

However big your ISP allows.

2. newMail notifitor: when there is a new mail, can the tary be
changed to other until i check the mail?

See this: http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/mailalert2003.htm

can it work with hotmail?
No.

3. is there any function likes "To Do List"; calendar require time
setting?

I use Tasks for that.

4. configure file backup; can i back up all of my setting?

See the Save My Settings Wizard (for Outlook 2002/2003) and this:

Hotmail mail is not delivered into the Inbox - as it is http mail it has its
own set of folders.

Thanks for clearing that up. I stand corrected.
