After using Outlink on my home-PC (Outlook2007), I decided to also run it at work (Outlook 2003). My "procedure" is to go through my inbox using Outlinker – things that can be done right away I do jus then (using r/ra or i key). Items that take longer than a few minutes I move to my action items in MM.
Then once or twice per day, I go through my Sent items using Outlinker too.
I discovered that the items that I had processed (and responded to) using Outlinker were not appearing in my Sent Items … but in the MainArchive folder. As a result, it was very almost impossible to process these items using Outlinker

I noticed this "problem" did not occur on my home-PC so I decided to compare Outlook settings and found the cause of this behaviour.

If you're experiencing this problem too, do the following in Outlook:

Tools – Options – E-mail options – Advanced Email options – Disable "Store message with original message outside Inbox (2nd option)"

I'm using an international version of Outlook, so the description can be a little different from what I've given above – but you should be able to find it there.

and then download this macro into "My Maps\AO" directory:

You need to add reference for Microsoft Outlook 11 (or 12) library.

I just uploaded a new version that removes the xml routine that is causing the problem. You should be all set with that one.

I've been tweaking the code so that it keeps looping on selection items until you cancel, quit, or get through everything. I hadn't anticipated situation when only thing left would be appointment request that it would loop over.

I'm glad to hear you are making use of tools. I'm finding Outlinker to be very impactful. From a development point of view I'm finding the key is actually to make it good at NOT sending stuff to MindManager. The more you can delete/archive/reply-to on the fly the better. Make sure you take advantage of the new p/n/i keys.

I've been playing around with Oulinker for a couple of days, and so far it has proven very useful! This is a great way of ensuring the actions hidden in emails are actually done (either by me or someone else).
I ran into a small issue today, and first thought there was a memory error because Outlook became non-responsive. Turns out, there was an object type not being handled so the macro kept looping indefinitely:
The object was a meetin invitation, which I hadn't responded to yet ; obj.Class = 53.
Let me know if you need additional info, I'd be happy to help out.

Thanks for your great code, both Outlinker and MindReader are saving me a lot of time (and better yet, reducing the pressure trying to keep overview)!
