Scripts needed for Outlook for Mac 2011

24. December 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , ,
I'm now migrating from Entourage 2008 to Outlook for Mac 2011.  I frequently use scripts on Entourage to accomplish the following:

1) Change the name of the sender of a message I've received.  I use this, for example, if the sender of the mail shows their name in a non-Roman alphabet (Chinese, etc) and I want their sender name to appear in my inbox in Roman letters. Or if I know the person by their nickname rather than their formal name.  In both cases I want their sender name in my Outlook inbox to match the name I know them by.

2) Change date and time sent of a received mail.  Occasionally I use this script in Entourage if the clock on the sender's computer is set incorrectly and the message therefore appears in the wrong place in my inbox. 

3) Delay sending time.  This script allows me to set the sending date and time of a mail to, say, the end of the week, or even sometime next year.


I've searched everywhere online and haven't found these three scripts for Outlook yet.  Can anyone help me find them?  Or are there other non-script, time-efficient workabout solutions?  

Thank you for any advice you can provide!


all prior emails attached when forwarding an email CANNOT delete prior emails attached with the new OUTLOOK?HOTMAIL…privacy issue

I used to be able to forward an email and delete/edit any attachments, such as prior emails sender name subject, etc.

With the new OUTLOOK all emails are bundled by subject matter. When you FORWARD an email all prior emails are always attched and forwarded also.

When you forward and then delete/edit prior attachments it looks like it works but when you check to see what was sent ALL ATTACHMENTS ARE ALWAYS attached again and everything is sent.

 

PLEASE HELP OR CHANGE THIS TERRIBLE FLAW IN NEW 2012 HOTMAIL/OUTLOOK
