Favorite Windows email tricks and plugins
Merlin Mann | Aug 27 2006
I'm working on an article about email tricks for one of your finer magazines, and -- as you might imagine -- when it comes to the inevitable Windows stuff, I'm a bit light in the useful tips department. So, I turn to you Redmond-using smarties for help. Do you have a favorite application, plugin, trick, or hack for bending Windows email to your will? Double-credit for Outlook add-ons that garden-variety users can install without fancy root-style access. Whence comes your magic Windows fu? 64 Comments

 The one plugin I use...Submitted by jr (not verified) on August 27, 2006 - 9:59am.
The one plugin I use regularly in Outlook (and which is a huge timesaver) is SpeedFiler from Calritude Software (http://www.claritude.com/product.htm). It saves lots of time when processing and filing mail, is very easy to use and unobtrusive. I wouldn't live without it. Another plugin I use (unfortunately only available in German so far) is SmartTools Mail-Assistent (http://www.add-in-world.com/katalog/ol-mailass/). It will warn the user if he uses (any user-defined) word for attachment but no attachment is visible. Secondly, it will warn about empty subject lines as well. Really great stuff. Thirdly, I used to use SpamSieve (http://spamsieve.sf.net) as Spam plugin. It's free, does a really great job and is basically easily installed and configured, too. Very valuable. jr » POSTED IN:
