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.

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:yesterdayMore syntax helpers and ideas here:

and here:
http://tr.im/iONANote: 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.

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.

Agree – Will do. I just want to make a couple of smaller updates on a quicker cycle first, then I’ll post a link to the MSI file on the blog via http://tr.im/j1dp
Done – download from here (it might get a little stale, but I’ll update):
