One other point I forgot to mention: If you change your Office theme, these gadgets will update (next time they refresh) to match the theme. Therefore, if you'd rather see black/gray gadgets instead of blue, just change your Office theme over and the gadgets will update.

Earlier in XP it was possible to share Outlook contacts with Windows Address Book by setting a registry value. Is this possible in Vista/Outlook 2007 or Outlook 2007 on XP?

Now what would be great is a gadget that would display number of emails sent, received in a day and in a week.

Why does the To-Do bar (and thus this side bar) not have the option to display all day appointments? This is my biggest pet peeve with Outlook 2007. It's like they don't even exist!

How about a gadget that lists your five most recent emails in a chosen folder, and boldfaces the ones that are unread. And then, how about a gadget that combines the task, calendar, and email gadget into one?

Has this gadget been updated in the past few months?

I tried the taskbar gadget out several months ago when I first got my Vista laptop. I often sync my laptop with my PDA but this gadget appears to only refresh when you manually launch Outlook. This rather defeats the purpose of running the gadget in the first place, no?

Fails to run, just like the previous version. Fails to update details and offers to launch Outlook...

Debbie: You're right, the gadgets only refresh when Outlook is running. The goal of this generation of gadgets is just to provide easier access to data. That way, you don't need to interrupt your current task by switching to Outlook to see if you have a meeting or task that needs attention.

I'll make sure your feedback is passed along.

Seahorse: When you say fails to run, what does that mean? Do the gadgets start up but not show any data? How do you have your Outlook configured (what accounts, where is your calendar and task data stored)?

Outlook is feed by my ISP and 2 gmail accounts. I run 1 default diary and store all mail in a PST on my data Hard Drive.

The reminder gadget runs with or without OL07 running and displays a message saying "No data available". Clicking Launch Outlook has no effect. Refreshing calendr appears for 20 or so seconds then gadget displays "No data Available" I'm using a fully patched Vista32 Ultimate.

Personal folders are E:\data\mail.pst. Archive in C:\users\username\appdata\local\microsoft\outlook

I think this is a flaw in Outlook 2007 that a gadget can't fix...but what if I have subscribed to iCal calendars? Can this gadget pull appointments from different calendars?

For instance, I don't just want to know that my personal calendar is empty for tonight, I want to know from the coach's ical calendar that my son's baseball game is tonight.

Greetings..

This is a great tool; it allows me to keep Outlook off except when I have decided to do email! This works better for me than working offline.

Two features would make it a bit better ...

1- Allow the gadget to FILTER by one attribute and SORT by another. I would like to be able to filter on TODAY's tasks but show them by Importance.

2- If the gadget could pop (or otherwise show) reminders when Outlook is closed. I use tasks with due dates to track things due to me, and reminders to know when to follow up.

Note #1 -- I am a fan of the "Total Workday Control" approach by Michael Linenberger.

--> www.workdaycontrol.com

Note #2 -- I LIKE the non-display of all day events. I deal with them in my morning planning session and create a task or a specific time appointment.

Thanks!

How can you get rid of "Show in Groups" globally. I really dislike this, but it’s a pain-in-the-butt having to do it for each folder.

i think it would be gr8 to have a gadget like the default calender but u can right click on a date and set a reminder. Then the dates with the reminders set to them are highlighted. And when the due date for the reminder arrives, a pop-up/alert/message appears with a sound and shows the reminder!

It's great that you guys have time to develop Outlook 2007 gadgets but somebody PLEASE fix the fact that Outlook can't even get the time right in appointments and the time stamp on my outbound e-mails vary from person to person.

So, my suggestion is to cut out the cutesy pie fun and games features and fix the core product!

re: Outlook 2007 Gadgets for Windows Sidebar

Mat D — Thu, 08 May 2008 06:54:02 GMT

I really like the tool,

but I really need the ability to look at events that happen on a multi day basis.

please bring out this wee feature.

but thank you for a product such as this, just one more tweek and i wont be heard from.

chadtennant — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 07:34:08 GMT

Is there a gadget or feature out there that will automatically generate a set appointment or task when I create a task or appointment with specific wording?

Ie:

a) I set an appointment on July 1st at 10am to buy a car

b) Outlook generates an appointment on Jun 25th for me to call a dealer to set an appointment and creates a task to call and thank the banker on July 5th.

Is there anyway I can do this in outlook? Any other programs that link with Outlook?

thanks,
