Now that I've been using it for a little while, I don't think I can put it away - it's just too darn useful and makes too much sense to just stop using it. And that, my friends, is the first sign of really good software. |

Advanced Options - How it works
(Programming Required)
SSW LookOut! for Microsoft Outlook adds a Client ID field to your Outlook view. This allows you to clearly see
which emails are from contacts in your corporate database, which emails are from within your own corporate
Intranet, and which emails are from people not currently in your database (potential new clients which you must add
to your database!).
Figure: SSW LookOut! lets you clearly see which emails are and are not from
contacts in your corporate database
LookOut! uses the email address to search and match people from your database. It is designed to work with any
popular database, but currently has only been tested extensively with Microsoft Access and Microsoft SQL
Server. If you are interested to try out on other database(s), let us know!
Figure:
Your Outlook items can be sorted or grouped with the Client ID
LookOut! operates in two modes, Online and Offline mode.
- Whenever LookOut! is certain that a connection to your corporate database can be made, it will switch to Online
mode. A probe test is run to check before the mode switches.
- Similarly, whenever there's an error in trying to connect to your database, LookOut! will switch to Offline mode.
While in Offline mode, LookOut! will not try to scan any new incoming emails for their client ID. Contrary to what the
name may seem to indicate, LookOut! does not keep an open connection to your database, all connections are closed as
soon as LookOut! is done with them. LookOut!'s Online and Offline modes are also not related to Outlook's Online and
Offline modes. There is an option for LookOut! to automatically try to go Online when it starts.
