Introduction:

Org mode lets you organize your tasks. However, sometimes you may wish to integrate org-mode with outlook since your company forces you to use Microsoft Outlook. org-outlook.el allows:

  • Creating Tasks from outlook items:

    • org-outlook-task. All selected items in outlook will be added to a task-list at current point. This version requires org-protocol and
      org-protocol.vbs. The org-protocol.vbs has can be generated with the interactive function org-outlook-create-vbs.

    • If your organization has blocked all macro access OR you want to have an action for a saved .msg email, org-outlook also adds drag and drop support allowing .msg files to become org tasks. This is enabled by default, but can be disabled by org-outlook-no-dnd

    • With blocked emails, you may wish to delete the emails in a folder after the task is completed. This can be accomplished with org-protocol-delete-msgs. If you use it frequently, you may wish to bind it to a key, like

    (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c d") 'org-protocol-delete-msgs)

  • Open Outlook Links in org-mode

    • Requires org-outlook-location to be customized when using Outlook 2007 (this way you don’t have to edit the registry).

This is based loosely on: http:__superuser.com_questions_71786/can-i-create-a-link-to-a-specific-email-message-in-outlook

Note that you may also add tasks using visual basic directly. The script below performs the following actions:

  • Move email to Personal Folders under folder "@ActionTasks" (changes GUID)
  • Create a org-mode task under heading "* Tasks" for the file f:\Documents\org\gtd.org
  • Note by replacing "@ActionTasks", "* Tasks" and f:\Documents\org\gtd.org you can modify this script to your personal needs.

The visual basic script for outlook can be created by calling M-x org-outlook-create-vbs
