    1. More Stuff Than Emails

      Even though they don't change that much, could OutlookDeck be altered to show anything held in Outlook, i.e. tasks, contacts, meetings etc?

      • Allow me to change fonts, colors and chrome

        It would be nice to make the bubbles bigger or smaller, especially to fit more in.

        • Make search/filtering more granular

          Currently the filters are really coarse -- they just search for words in subject/body. Give me more control, boolean searches, advanced fields, etc.

            started  ·  davidingAdmindaviding (Admin, OutlookDeck) responded

            Good feedback – thanks. I do need to improve that or at least show some more examples.

            OutlookDeck uses the underlying query syntax of Windows Search so things like this can be done today:

            From: David
            To:“David Ing” date:today
            Folder:Projects OR Folder:Todo
            HasAttachment:True AND CC:dav* AND date:past month
            Tags:Acme OR flagstatus:followup
            size:>50KB <70KB
            Attachment:*.pdf
            isread:false
            sent:yesterday

            More syntax helpers and ideas here:
            http://tr.im/iOID
            and here:
            http://tr.im/iONA

            Note: Search textbox now shows examples as a tooltip – I hope that helps.

          • Add a way to group users, i.e. let me give a list of people

            Use the TweetDeck way of being able to create groups, but use email addresses

            • Get rid of delay at start-up

              When I start OutlookDeck the window goes white and hangs. What's that about?

              • Strip out header information/shorten titles

                More of a bug but I'm seeing "cid:blahblahblah" on many of the messages. There should also be a way to set preferences to shorten how many characters are displayed from the email subject.

                • make columns moveable

                  It would be great to switch the column order w/o deleting and starting over.

                  • Pictures!

                    My Outlook contacts have pictures on them. Can I have OutlookDeck show those pictures like TweetDeck does for Twitter profiles?

                    • When does it update - Can I set that?

                      I think OutlookDeck updates once a minute. Would it be better to make that faster or slower?

                      • create a seperate installer version for web proxy users.

                        Could you create a seperate full installer version for web proxy users? Most office users access the web through a proxy and the new dynamic installer doesn't work.
