I just wanted to give the author a heads up – apparently Boxbe has taken up spamming in order to promote their anti-spam product. I and several people I know have received unsolicited emails advertising their product. When you sign up for Boxbe, they’re going to be spamming all of your contacts. You can read more about it (this is not my blog) here: http://saunderslog.com/2008/04/22/boxbes-spam-a-fatal-mistake-for-them-and-me/

Another good add-on is NXS-7’s Task Analytics http://task-analytics.com You can do more with your to-do lists.

Anyone know of a simple way to add additional choices to the Snooze drop-down list. Like it goes from 1,2,3,4 days to 1,2 weeks. I would like to add 5,6 days (in addition to other hours, etc.). Thanks in advance!

I tried all 3 and let me confess – all of them are massively impressive. Well, I didn’t like Sendshield too much but it still is quite useful for a few. I am impressed with the ClearContext – Boxbe combo and I am thinking of implementing it for one of the perennial problems in my org – inbox management and tracking of activities distributed to various colleages. Actually I want a system wherein all mails sent to a central email id are captured by the system and the administrator then assigns part of work to various collegues – then the admin collates the responses sent by each of these and finally sends the consolidated response to the original sender. Can someone help me build this type of system?

Yeah – agreed. http://www.outlooktrackit.com/ is my savior right now. it expanded everything, and in general, made outlook more appealing to me. Now I don’t have to go to different sources, everything is kinda just there now!

I have installed a dozen great plugins of which Xobni is one of them. I also built my own when the David Allen Getting Things Done Addin didn't do the job. It's a very simple improvement to Outlooks follow-up and reminders called Outlook Trackit.

One of the most recently announced plugins for Outlook is SplitEmail. It adds personalization to every day email communication. The entire concept is new and has never been done before. I am looking for some feedback from some forward thinking Outlook users. Software can be downloaded from http://www.SplitEmail.com

Stumbled on this blog as I was looking for a solution to an Outlook problem about Tasks. Thanks for the SendShield link! I always forget to clear Doc Properties when I send attachments so this is a very nifty tool!

But Lookout doesn’t work with Outlook 2007 or Vista properly…I tried and new tool called Lookeen and like it very much. I think it’s very similar to Lookout – but works with Vista, XP and Office 2007, 2003:

OK, I've been using ClearContext for about a year or so and paid for upgrades from v2 to the current v4. It's pretty good, it's second nature now to assign topics and file email accordingly.

I tried Boxbe but stopped using it after a while.

Lookout is great for searching Outlook.

Plaxo is brilliant for syncing between my Mac/iCal/Address book/iPhone at home and Outlook on my work PC. I've only been using it for a week or so but it's excellent.
