Klemid's Accelerator for Microsoft Outlook is an add-in for Microsoft Outlook, which saves a lot of mouse clicks in your daily Outlook work. For example, you can send a message without saving it to the Sent Items folder with one click. You can achieve this using the Options dialog but with 4 clicks. 4 sound not much too but but it is too annoying to use it frequently. In consequence your Sent Items folder grows and grows. All functions within Klemid's Accelerator can be switched on and off individually thus consuming as less space as possible in your Outlook toolbar.
The available functions are:

• Send/Delete button in the send window
  Assuming your default is to store all sent messages in the Sent Items bypasses the default behavior and switches off the "Save sent message to"-flag
• Send/Strip button in the send window
  Sometime you want to save the message text in the Sent Items folder but without the contained attachment in order to save space. When you use this button, attachments are stripped off then the message is filed into the Sent Items folder.
• "Save to" combo box in the send window
  This combo box make is very easy to choose the folder where to file the message after sending. Doing this the standard way thru the Options dialog is very circumstantial. You can easily configure your favorite folders appearing in the drop-down list.
• Schedule Out-of-Office reply
  Be honest: How often did you forget to enter an out of office reply. This functions allows to schedule the out-of-office reply right when you create your absence appointment You only need to mark the appointment as "Out of Office" and enter a text with prefix "OOF:" into the body. The appointments subject is not affected and can be chosen as usual. At midnight and when Outlook is restarted Accelerator checks whether such an appointment is created for the upcoming working day (Saturday and Sunday are ignored) and enters the text following the "OOF:" as the Out-of-Office reply. Prerequisite is that your computer and your Outlook is running at this time. For notebook users, who typically switch of their PCs, Accelerator checks if such an appointment is scheduled for the following day the asks you whether to set the OOF now.
  Within the out of office text you can use the following variables:
  

  %enddate%:	the end date of the appointment
  %enddate+1%:	the day following the end date
  %signature:signature name>%:	is replaced by the text of an existing Outlook signature

Klemid's Accelerator runs on Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, and 2010.

Klemid's Accelerator can be installed using this link. At first a small bootstrap program is downloaded which itself downloads the actual installation file from the Net. When your browser's security settings do not allow the direct execution of this bootstrap program save the program to your hard disk first and start it from there. When you repeat the installation later on, the Accelerator is automatically updated to the newest version in the Net.
 

After installation all functions are at first inactive. You should firstly go to Outlook's Options dialog, choose the "Accelerator" tab and activate the functions you want to use. After restart Outlook the new functions are available in the send mail window.

After the installation Accelerator firstly runs in the unlicensed mode. All functions are fully operational but when from time to time you receive a popup reminding for licensing. Accelerator is licensed for a particular e-mail address. When you use different e-mail address you need a license for each one. A private license costs 10 EUR. Currently Accelerator supports payment via PayPal. This doesn't mean that you need a PayPal account. PayPal also supports credit card and bank account payments. During the payment you need to enter the e-mail address you want to license. About one day after payment you receive the license key which you enter in the license dialog you can reach via Outlook > About > About Klemid's Accelerator.
Accelerator also supports company licenses based on an e-mail domain. The price is determined individually. If you are interested in this an e-mail to accelerator@klemid.de.

• The user interface is provided in English only.
• Word as e-Mail editor is currently not supported. This applies to the functions Send/Delete, Send/Strip and "Save to".
• The Send/Strip-Button is without function when the message is digitally signed. The reason is that the signature includes the attachment. Without the attachment the message can no longer be opened.
