Hey folks,

In my office i got Emacs installed with org mode. However elpa repos
are not accessible due to proxy restrictions. My question is that how
i can get maximum out of Emacs on bare minimum. Following are things I
would like to do

1. Read emails (we use outlook)
2. Excel or CSV manipulation (export, import things and other)
3. Use it as a python IDE (This is very imp)

What I can do now....

1. Use org mode for managing my to-do and other tasks
2. Notes taking

You may want to consider setting up offline archives:

Create local Emacs package repository from installed packages.

The repository built from your installed packages is actually very
small (5~10M).

gnus or rmail for email. Org mode can do spreadsheets including
formulas. python-mode for python. All vanilla.
