<u>E-Mail Clients</u>

Add-ins

Outlook has add-ins, to facilitate and automate many frequent tasks. These are easily downloadable from the Internet. Here are some of the more popular ones.

Manage attachments

Attachment add-ins help in extracting attachments from e-mails into a folder. Most add-ins remove the attachments, but add a link to the file in the e-mail. An example of one such add-in is TODI. You can download it from http://www.aufgang.org/koch/homepage/software/todi.htm

Auto print

The print add-ins are for offices that constantly require to print e-mails. Add-ins in this category, print the e-mail as soon as it arrives. One such add-in can be bought at http://www.sperrysoftware.com

Always inform BOSS

Some organisations pass about a large amount of correspondence, in the form of e-mails. In such cases, it is mostly mandatory to mark a copy to the project or department head, so that the progress of the project can be tracked. Certain add-ins put in a default e-mail address, that is added to every e-mail that is sent, even without the knowledge of the sender. One such add-in, called 'Always BCC', can be purchased at www.sperrysoftware.com

Time stamp

Sometimes your e-mails take hours to reach the recipients, even over an Intranet. There are add-ins that time stamp the exact time and date, of when you sent an e-mail. This helps to keep an exact record of important e-mails. These add-ins can be enabled or disabled with a mouse click. You can get one such add-in from http://www.sperrysoftware.com/jcTimeDateSignature.asp
