A problem with Outlook is controlling the order of execution in Outlook rules. Let’s say you have 1000 rules, and you want rule 1000 to be executed first – you would have to click the up arrow 999 times. What would happen if you had five, twenty, or a hundred rules to move? And, until […]
All New Versions of Our Outlook Add-Ins
This month we’re happy to announce all new versions of our add-ins. These new versions feature faster startup times and more resilient handling of errors that may be occurring.

Dual Monitors, Plus Auto Print Gets Page Numbers in Email
