When it comes to printing emails, sometimes it’s only necessary to print the first page of an email, because the rest of the pages are filled with older information that may not be necessary, or perhaps a trailing blank page is always printed for some reason. For printing emails in Outlook one at a time […]
Creating and Testing Rules in Outlook
Last time I wrote about the Timed Email Organizer, when the new automatic reply and auto forward actions were added. Shortly after the article was published, a customer called wanting to know how to create a rule that would move the email to a folder if the To field held a particular address. We filled […]
In Defense of Email…Ten Years Later (Almost)
We last visited this topic in June 2009. Back then, a slew of articles about upcoming technologies promised the end of email, including nascent social networks like Orkut and Facebook. While it is true Facebook is more popular it hasn’t taken the place of email (at work anyway). The same can be said of chat […]

In general though, Outlook’s Junk Mail feature learns over time so if your Outlook installation is […]
Recent Features and Bug Fixes
We recently updated a number of add-ins with features and fixed a few bugs along the way: Auto Print Pro now has the ability to specify which pages to print per email AND/OR per attachment. Previously, once the number of pages was set, that was it for that printer. Now, the ability to say something […]
Mitigating Risks of Using the Autofill Feature in Outlook
To save time when composing a new email, many people will type the first letter of a well known email address, then use the TAB key to select the first email address that shows up in the dropdown list. That dropdown list, known as the auto-complete list, autofill, or sometimes nicknames, gets populated whenever a […]
