Useful free Add-ins for MS Outlook

I haven't been using MS Outlook until now. Do you know why? It's usually paid (unless you get it with your new Windows System) and I didn't think it has so much to offer. In fact, its default options are not terrific, but seeing how many cool free Outlook Add-ins is available in the Web, and having it installed on my office PC, I've changed my mind. There's a plenty of functions that you can add to your MS Outlook totally free, e.g.:

  • export of data from Outlook to text files
  • sharing Outlook categories with others
  • sharing Outlook calendars
  • synchronization of Outlook folders and data
  • automatic set-up of email account in Outlook
  • removing of duplicated PST files from Outlook
  • attachments unblocking
  • syncing Outlook contacts with Facebook, etc.
Yep, just have a look in the Internet yourself!

E-mail stationary - nice and sexy or hideous and unproffesional?

Maybe it's not so popular now as it used to be, but still there are some people who use an e-mail stationary to enhance a visual look of their messages what sometimes turns out to be a mistake. And it happens even in the business messages.

Hmm, let's see...Here's an example of a yellow theme. There's no way this background will be looking good, e.g., with a white logo added - it would disappear.


With this one it could be even worse...


The occasional themes are quite popular...


...but the penguins rule! ;)


Companies that want to be in line with the corporate guidelines know what to do to prevent adding e-mail stationary to their outgoing messages. They simply purchase an e-mail management program that automatically removes a random e-mail theme and help maintain a professional look of company correspondence.
