Microsoft Outlook user and GTDer Scott Hanselman uses flags and search folders to clear his inbox. Scott writes:I also try to get to ZEB (Zero Email Bounce) every day or so. This is when you "bounce" up against zero emails in your inbox... This doesn't mean that you've done all your tasks, instead it means you know what your tasks are. [...] Remember that your inbox is not storage, it's a list of what hasn't been categorized yet. Hit the link to see the folders Scott uses to categorize his messages—in fact, his system isn't far off from my Trusted Trio.

The Mountain View-based company has it good, judging from the requests it has pouring in. People have long asked Google to synchronize its Calendar service with mobile devices and Outlook, and after a pretty long period of time it did just that. First came syncing with Blackberry phones, but today the proverbial olive branch has been shown to Microsoft, when Outlook finally got support.

Windows only: Have your calendar available on the desktop as well as in the cloud with the Google Calendar Sync desktop tool, freshly released from the big G. Sync your primary calendar on your vanilla or Google Apps account to Outlook automatically at a refresh rate you define. Syncing can be one- or two-way, meaning you can add and edit events in Outlook and have them sync to GCal or vice versa automatically. The only catch is that it only works with your primary calendar, not secondary ones. Google Calendar Sync is a free download for Windows only. (Of course, having Outlook helps.) This coupled with Gmail IMAP really makes Outlook a viable GApps client.

Windows only: Never email another Microsoft Office document from Outlook that includes private hidden data again with the SendShield Outlook plug-in. We've all heard the horror stories of revisions, comments, and author notes revealing more than the document sender intended, like when a Google employee inadvertently published internal secrets in the notes of a PowerPoint slideshow. The SendShield Outlook plug-in scans Office documents you attach to new messages for hidden data and alerts you if there's potentially sensitive info included, listing each item within Outlook's interface. You can even delete the hidden data right within SendShield's list, without modifying the original file, and scan documents attached to incoming messages as well. Send read more »

Auto-complete is one of those features that gets more and more convenient the more you use it—so losing it completely on a new system, or just new Outlook installation, can be a shock. The Tech Recipes blog details the process for hunting down, copying, and pasting your .NK2 file from system to system, saving you the trouble of re-training your email mind. For most users, the file can be found in your "Application Data" (XP) or "App Data" (Vista) folders, nested inside "Microsoft->Outlook." For help on actually editing and removing entries from Auto-Complete, check out NK2View.
