How to improve Microsoft Outlook

Today i am going to discuss Outlook Support to improve your outlook easily, Here some tips given which help to improve your outlook.

For many of us, Microsoft Outlook is as much a part of our workplace as the conditioned air we breathe and the carpet squares that we walk on. It’s a foundational element of our working lives–so it’s a crying shame that it’s such a frustrating one.

“I still find it annoying that I have to pay for plug-ins to handle tasks that Outlook really should do out of the box. “

But like a real foundation, it can be built upon. And thank goodness, many companies have Outlook plug-ins and add-ons that make using this ubiquitous software less frustrating and often almost enjoyable.

Mind you, I still find it annoying that I have to pay for plug-ins to handle tasks that Outlook really should do out of the box. But at least there are solutions to some of Outlook’s most vexing faults. Here are the tools I’m using right now:

Vexation No. 1: You can’t search Outlook.
Solution: Lookout
It is stunning to me that I can search the accumulated online knowledge of humanity faster than my own local e-mail in-box. Thank you Google, and shame on you Microsoft. If a user’s e-mail archive gets bigger than a few hundred messages, search becomes so slow as to be nearly unusable. Sadly, many people keep gigabytes of archived e-mail on their system. With Microsoft’s search tools, it might as well be filed in a black hole instead of on a hard disk.

All the Outlook search tools have to index your messages and files, and this computer-intensive task can slow down your system when you need it the most. So I set my Lookout program to index my files once a day, late at night, when I’m not likely to be sitting in front of my PC.

Vexation No. 2: Outlook can’t read newsgroups or RSS feeds.
Solution: NewsGator
Outlook Express, the freebie e-mail application that comes with Windows, has a very nice feature: It also works as a reader for newsgroups, the public forums on just about every topic under the sun. Outlook, for some reason, does not read newsgroups.

“I’m able to keep up with the news much more effectively than other people who are not RSS users. “

Vexation No. 3: Spam!
Solution: Outlook 2003 or MailFrontier
This is my third vexation and not my first since Outlook 2003 finally has antispam technology that works pretty well. Outlook 2003 is part of Office 2003, which is, for the most part, an incremental upgrade to Office XP. The spam filter in Outlook is a good reason to upgrade, but if that’s your only reason for doing so, it makes for a very expensive antispam solution.

Vexation No. 4: Decaying contact data.
Solution: Plaxo
My Outlook contact list has more than 3,000 names in it. Unfortunately, much of the contact information (company affiliation, e-mail addresses, and phone numbers) is out of date. Outlook has no simple way to keep your contact list updated. A few start-ups, such as Plaxo and GoodContacts, have clever solutions that allow you to automatically request updates from people in your contact list. Better yet, if one Plaxo member updates his contact information, that info will automatically replicate to other Plaxo members, with no manual intervention required.
