December 2007

I am very happy to finally announce that the Skype Toolbar for Outlook has been updated.
The most important changes are:

• Support for Outlook 2007 - when you open an email or a contact item you will get a Skype task pane to the right allowing you to initiate communication via Skype very swiftly.
• Much faster startup performance (except the first time you log into a profile) - the caching is now done in a much better way
• When reading email only the sender of the email is analyzed. Previously up to 10 other recipients were also analyzed. This also increases performance a lot.
• Selecting appointments are no longer supported - we are trying to make the product simpler and this feature was cut
• On demand analyzing of other recipients. When you create a conference, multichat etc from an email the other recipients (apart from the sender) is analyzed when needed, not in advance.

To make the most of your use of the Outlook Toolbar we have made a 17 minutes long video demonstration of the toolbar in action. Here is the link to that!
Then, of course, I urge you to download and try it for yourself!
