18.11.2009Microsoft releases stand-alone Outlook with CRM built-in
This morning, Microsoft has come up with a new approach to the problem for which some Outlook users have been asking for over a decade: It's amending
Outlook to be able to handle business contacts in a relational manner -- for example, to group customers by the contact who brought them to you, or to
maintain custom data on those customers. Contact management is being built directly into Outlook.
But there's a catch: Microsoft
Office Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager, as the product will now be known, is a separate version of Outlook that will be integrated,
starting today, into Office Small Business, Professional, and Ultimate editions. For those who already have Office editions with the pre-existing
Outlook 2007, or who purchase Outlook or Office without the Business Contact Manager, the new version will be available separately as a replacement
for $149.95.

There are so many things you can do with Outlook, but I have to admit, I've never fully explorered all its features. However, the more I
"live" in my Outlook at work, the more I've become obsessed with finding new and useful ways to get things done as efficiently and

1. The
ClearContext add-in - every since someone told me about this add-in, I've been using the heck out of it. Although I can only afford the free
version, I've found it unbelievably useful for categorizing my mail. Since I had been using a folders system prior to the Outlook 2007 upgrade, I
didn't feel much like redoing this system just to use Outlook 2007's color-coded categories. Instead, I use a mashup of ClearContext labels
and Outlook categories... (

15.08.2007Microsoft to kill Hotmail via Outlook Express on September 1
If you're still using Outlook Express for checking your Windows Live Hotmail, listen up. Microsoft will be cutting off your access in three
months. On September 1, 2009, the support for Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV), the protocol that Outlook Express and a handful of older
clients currently use to access Hotmail, will be discontinued. As Neowin reported in April of last year, Microsoft originally planned to cut off
access for Outlook Express users on June 30, 2008. However the WebDAV protocol got a stay of execution after users complained that it was too soon.
Microsoft's management agreed and gave users another year to make the migration.

04.06.2009Microsoft Announces Changes for Accessing Hotmail with Outlook Express
Important news if you currently access your Windows Live Hotmail with Outlook Express, come June 30th. this will no longer be possible.
A change is coming for users that access Hotmail with Outlook Express. Outlook Express uses a protocol called DAV (Distributed Authoring
and Versioning protocol) to access a Windows Live™ Hotmail® e-mail account. DAV, like POP3 or IMAP, is the way that a mail client communicates with
a web-based mail server.
As of June 30, 2008, Microsoft is disabling the DAV protocol and you will no longer be able to access
your Hotmail Inbox via Outlook Express. As an alternative, we recommend that you download Windows Live Mail, a free desktop e-mail client that has the
familiarity of Outlook Express and much more.

08.05.2008Outlook 2007 Gadgets for Windows Sidebar
If you’re a fan of the Outlook 2007 To-Do Bar, but wish your upcoming appointments and tasks could be shown even when Outlook was minimized,
I’ve got great news for you, you can do this today with the Outlook Sidebar Gadgets.
One of the new features introduced in Windows
Vista is the Windows Sidebar, an application that allows gadgets—small applications that provide quick access to useful information or
commands—to be displayed on your desktop or in the Sidebar.
The Sidebar presented a great opportunity for Outlook to surface the same
information that we show in the To-Do Bar. To this end, we developed two Outlook gadgets: Outlook Appointments and Outlook Tasks. These gadgets can be
used independently or together to provide at-a-glance information without the need to bring up Outlook.
