At home, I use Thunderbird, and it has an add-in called 'Nostalgy'
that saves me time and frustration. I've looked unsuccessfully for something similar for Outlook, which I use at the office. The Nostalgy add-in allows me to move (or copy) emails to folders using only the keyboard, or to open a folder with the keyboard. Since I have 1.73 bazillion hierarchically arranged folders, this is much easier than using the mouse to open sub-folder after sub-folder, or scrolling down the folder list if I have a bunch of folders open. Three keystrokes initiate the action, depending on whether I want to move, copy or go to a folder. That opens a list (it happens to be a list coming up from the status bar, sort of like a pop-up) of the ten most recent folders that I've worked with. I can select an item from that list using the up or down key, or I can start to type part of the name of a folder. For example, if the folder I'm looking for was labeled Languages/Semitic/Arabic, I could start by typing 'l' for 'languages', which would give me a pop-up listing all the folders containing the letter 'l' somewhere in their path; if I then typed 'a', that would narrow it down to all folders containing the string 'la', etc. But I could just as well type 'r' for (the second letter of) Arabic, and so forth. Once I've narrowed the pop-up down to a single folder--or alternatively selected the right one with the cursor key--hitting enter accomplishes the desired action of moving or copying the currently selected message to that folder, or opening that folder. There's a fuller description of Nostalgy, including screen shots, at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/2487. Is there any similar add-in for Outlook? Mike Maxwell |
