Category-Manager | |
With Category-Manager you can group your Outlook categories, share them with other users, filter a folder by category, automatically categorize new emails, and more. You can use the Addin even for IMAP. |
If you need to block necessary travel time for a meeting, or for the time you need to prepare for the meeting, you either need to add up to two additional appointments to your calendar, or extend the main appointment accordingly.
This macro adds up to two additional appointments for each selected appointment to your calendar: One before, and one after the main appointment. The commented lines show where you can easily customize the code:
Paste the code to the ThisOutlookSession module. Then select any appointments in your calendar, and press ALT+F8 to run the macro.
