Six useful Outlook Add-ins

Six useful Outlook Add-ins

As quoted from http://emailclientmarketshare.com/, desktop Outlook users are just behind portable devices and Gmail’s web-GUI. We are talking about 9% out of 1.16 billion users worldwide. In other words, there are 100 million desktop users that stick with Outlook desktop software. 

Lots of extra features are missing from the original package. Yet, many software vendors have developed Outlook add-ins through program API for Outlook. These utilities are fairly small and quite handy when you need to do tasks that require features missing from Outlook itself.

Here is a wish list of add-ins that may be exactly what you need:
