I have Windows7 OS.
I upgraded to MSO 2007.
I cannot access the calendar, etc. without setting up an email profile which
my ISP will not allow using the email address.
How can I use my calendar and other features without using Outlook email? I
could use the calendar on previous versions without setting up an email
account.

Why can't you use Outlook w/o a mail profile? What happens when you try?

ALWAYS post your Outlook version.

Why can't you? Set up Outlook, either without a mail profile at all
(just read the dialogs, there are options to avoid creating mail) or by
entering bogus information then later removing it.

Outlook works well as a calendar, contact list and task list without
email.

When outlook asks for account information, click cancel to create a no mail
profile.

Why won't your isp allow you to use your email address in Outlook?

Many ISPs are starting to provide webmail-only email addresses.

It's a win-win for the ISP, they get to show ads to attempt to pull in a
bit more revenue, along with the reduced support costs of having to
support buggy mail clients and users who can't manage to enter server
information into their client and leave it alone.
