Make Microsoft Outlook Wortwhile: Outlook on Crack?

ClearContext Outlook Plugin

I’ve always thought that outlook needed expanded functionality to really help me out in my day to day work. Emails need to be able to be tasks, I need to be able to write down comments on emails and then pull them back up later when I check that correspondence, etc.

I tried out Bells and Whistles for Outlook a few months ago and it has some decent features (if you mention the word “attach” or “attached,” etc in an email but don’t attach a file, it will alert you before you send it), but did not blow me away.

I’m hoping ClearContext will be the answer to my problems. With features such as:

  • See all your information organized by project
  • Turn emails into appointments and tasks
  • Never miss and important reply again

I think this could end up being a great addition to Outlook’s feature set. I will test for a week and report my findings.

    Lucas, Even for businesses? This article compares Gmail to Outlook and I think the general opinion is: yeah gmail is hot, but the workflow advantages in Outlook make it more friendly for business use.
