    Man kann über Lotus Notes sagen was man möchte, wenn man damit eine Weile gearbeitet hat und auf z.B. Outlook umgestiegen ist/wurde, dann fehlt einem in der Regel doch die eine oder andere liebgewonnene Funktion.

    Da ich nun bereits bei meinem zweiten Kunden “gezwungen” bin, mit MS Outlook 2003 zu arbeiten und mich scheinbar auch in Zukunft nicht um dessen Verwendung drücken kann, habe ich zwei der vielen praktische Notes-Funktionen für Outlook 2003 implementiert:

    1. Die Schaltfläche [Send only], bzw. [Nur senden] versendet eine E-Mail ohne eine Kopie davon in Outlook zu speichern.
    2. Die Schaltfläche [Send and File...] bzw. [Senden und ablegen...] erfragt vor dem Versenden in welchem Ordner die gerade geschriebene E-Mail abgelegt werden soll.

    Installation:

    1. Download des Visual Basic Moduls in der gewünschten Sprache.
      Download: Send Mail Macros for MS Outlook 2003 (EN)  Send Mail Macros for MS Outlook 2003 (EN) (4.9 KiB, 1,576 hits)

      Download: Send Mail Macros for MS Outlook 2003 (DE)  Send Mail Macros for MS Outlook 2003 (DE) (5.1 KiB, 747 hits)

    2. In Outlook den Visual Basic Editor öffnen.

      open VBE from within outlook

    3. Das Visual Basic Modul importieren

      Modul importieren Das VBE Modul auswählen Das VBE Modul wurde importiert.

    4. Das Projekt speichern.

      Das VBE Projekt speichern

    5. Die Schaltflächen in der Toolbar installieren.

      Makros Dialog öffnen Schaltfläche [Senden und ablegen...] installieren Schaltfläche [Senden und ablegen...] installiert Schaltfläche [Nur senden] installieren Schaltfläche [Nur senden] installiert

    6. Beim Erstellen einer neuen E-Mail sollten nun in der Toolbar die beiden zusätzlichen Schaltflächen angezeigt werden.

      Neue Schaltflächen in der Toolbar

    7. Beim Klick auf “Senden und ablegen…” erscheint vor dem Versenden der Ordnerdialog.

      Auswahl des Zielordners

      Hallo Herr Thomschke,
      habe o.a. Makros unter Outlook 2007 ausprobiert. Funktioniert prinzipiell auch. Schade ist nur, das die Schaltflächen aufgrund der Ribbons nicht so schön angeordnet sind wie bei OL2003. Habe Sie vielleicht schon Portierungen auf OL2007?

      Mit freundlichen Grüssen

      Dear Sebastian, does this also work for Outlook 2007 ?

      ps: I’m also experiencing another annoyance from the swith from Lotus to outlook. When working with multiple mail boxes, Lotus notes automatically switched the “from field” to display the fact that JohnBlack sent the mail from “New mailbox”.

      So what i want is that when i send an email from another mailbox (not my own), Outlook automatically changes the from attribute to JohnBlack on behalf of New mailbox.

      Thanks in advance,

      JB

    3. Hi John,
      I do not have access to Outlook 2007 so I cannot say if it works there or not.

      Regards,
      Seb

    4. Works great and thanks a lot. You should note that it only works if you have Outlook as your default email editor. If Word is set as the email editor it will not work. Other wise a bunch of people at my office thank you.

      Dear Sebastian, i’ve installed your macro in Outlook 2007 and it works but not exactly how it worked in lotus notes. If you for exmaple would choose “send and file” it would send the email and copy it to a folder of your choosing. But it would also place the email (like any other mail you send) in the “sent” folder. Could you add this option so it will also put send emails in the actual addition “send items” folder

    6. Hi John,
      I think the problem is that the “sent” folder is a folder in Outlook whereas it is a view in Lotus Notes. So if the button should also make the e-mail available in the sent folder it would have to make a copy of the e-mail and place it there. Instead I’d recommend you to create a custom view ( http://outlook-tips.net/howto/custom_views.htm ) showing all e-mails sent by you.

      Regards,
      Seb

      do you have a updated version for outlook 2007.
      Thanks a lot

    8. Hi Lorance,

      my customers did not yet migrate to Outlook 2007. Thus I didn’t have an opportunity to test the code on the new version.

    9. Dear Sebastian,

      I am using this macro and it’s very helpful for me. But I am missing one feature.
      When I click on one of these buttons the the spell check is missing even it it is enabled in the options of Outlook.
      How can this be turned on?

      Regards
      Dirk

    10. Hi Sebastian,

      Thanks for this piece of work! Works fine in Outlook 2007, just that Outlook put the buttons under the Add-ons Ribbon, so you need 2 clicks to get to it when sending. No big deal – it’s *far* superior to dragging your message from Sent Items to the folder of choice.

      I might look into associating a keyboard shortcut with it at some point.

      Thanks a million!
      Sandra

      I followed the above post but cant figure out how to install the buttons in the toolbar. Feel a little foolish sorry

    12. At which step do you get confused?

    13. Thanks for the Macros, i just downloaded the german .bas and installed it successfully.

      The “Senden und ablegen” Button works, but on the “Nur Senden” Button prompts for a place to store the file like the “Senden und ablegen” Button.

      I am using Outlook 2003 SP3 german.

    14. Problem solved, my mistake. If you follow the detailed instructions then it works perfectly.
      Thanks once more.

    15. Karen

      Awesome! Works nicely in Outlook 2007.
      To get it on the Quick Access Toolbar for a one click solution, Open Visual Basic Editor in Outlook and create a macro immediately under Sebastian’s existing code:
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      Public Sub SaveAndFile_Run()

      SendandFile

      End Sub
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      Then customize the quick access toolbar, choose commands from Macros and add the SendAndFile_run macro. Modify to an icon and text of your choice and it’s all good!

      Thanks Sebastian for a really useful piece of code!

    16. I haven’t installed this yet, but likely will. I find it hard to believe that every mail system doesn’t have this. It is basic: you want your sent mail in the folder with the received mail on that subject. In my case it is mostly to keep communication with customers together. Problem is that I REALLY don’t want to keep using Outlook, even with this new function. (Using Lotus Notes client stand alone right now, but the newer releases seem buggy to me).
      Thanks!

      Thanks alot!!! Works great!
      I missed that feature sadly since my company switched to Outlook!
