MS Outlook 2007

Post by coolkriss »

Hi All,

I am a new user here. Checked a lot of Rainmeter skins but could not find atleast one which tends towards MS Outlook.
Are there any plugins or add-ons to help me with Outlook. I am looking anything with the below listed features

1. New mail alert
2. Display selected no.of mails and scrolls down as and when new mails arrive.
3. Display calendar & alert us just as outlook does. Should be able to scroll though the calendar.
4. Display notes & flagged items in outlook.

I know these are lot of features, but guessing few in here are addicted to outlook and might have already worked on this.
If yes please share with me on how i can get them on my comp.

Thanks in advance

You are not going to get this kind of capability between Rainmeter and Outlook, unless Outlook has some kind of API interface (I have no idea, I have not used Outlook since about 1998) and someone feels like writing an Outlook plugin for Rainmeter in C++ or C#.

WebParser in Rainmeter can only extract information from websites which either require no authentication, (like a news rss feed) or can be authenticated via a GET on the URL like "http://jsmorley:password@somesite.com". GMail allows this with its ATOM feed, but almost no other sites which require you to login to an "account" to use them will do so.

Thank you jsmorley.
I am at a job which really is not the enthusiastic. Hence wanted to add some spice to the monitor to make it feel a little better than the regular boring stuff ... and all i use here is just MS tools ... and mostly it would be outlook & excel .. hence the peculiar requirement..

Thanks for your brief explanation..
