What do people here use to automate work with outlook? Programming scripts to filter messages instead of using the GUI? A macro to email out notices based on an Excel list with dates?

I'm looking for further ideas on automating the paperwork parts of my day.

VBA is built into Outlook, so you have the full programming ability of Visual Basic available, but that also requires at least some programming skill, and probably a lot of googling for examples of programming the Outlook application. Difficlut but in my opinion worth it if you cannot find an add-on that does what you want already, or if you just enjoy tinkering. You can access the Visual Basic Editor from the Tools | Macro | Visual Basic Editor menus, or by using the keyboard shortcut Alt+F11.

I know about that, I was more looking for what sort of things would you automate in your daily work. – Ace Pace Nov 20 '09 at 19:57
