I am aware that outlook addin can support events that track appointment and emails. Is it possible to implement an addin that can track that an email is currently being read?

I'm trying to display all events that appear on SharePoint calendar on Outlook by using the Connect to Outlook option on SharePoint, but after syncing the calendar on Outlook the event descriptions are all blank as shown below:
Can someone please check and help me with what might be causing this sync issue when I try to connect to Outlook from Sharepoint? The event descriptions are appearing correctly in Sharepoint.
Do you mean that event descriptions are not shown in the outlook like below? As per my test, only event titles can be shown in Outlook. I'm afraid it is by design.
We are building an Outlook addin in which we save some user states into the RoamingSettings.
We understand that calling RoamingSettings.remove() can delete certain settings from the addin code. But we are looking for a way to clear these settings from the Outlook UI so that our QA are able to reset the state easily.
a Delphi app automating Word mail merge and emailing via Outlook (Office 2007).
Windows XP2
Anti Virus Software Status -Valid
Trust Center Programmatic Access NEVER WARN ME.
(A different app not using Word but using Outlook emails without warning).
Yet Outlook Security Guard Warning Messages appear.
2 alerts per email x 700 email addresses = One angry customer.
Why? Without using a 3rd parry add-in, is there a way round this?
Is there a way to merge one record and the run some delphi code then another record merge? I can then bypass Outlook altogether
Outlook has no idea where the call comes from. Outlook VBA and COM add-in are explicilty trusted, any external code is not.
You will not see the prompt if you have up-to-date antivirus software.
Otherwise your option are listed at http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=52
In your case (Mail Merge), try to do the mail merge to a file, then mail the files in your code using the workarounds listed at the URL above.
I have a problem with the SharePoint and Outlook calendar synchronization. When I drag and drop an appointment or meeting from outlook calendar into SharePoint calendar, I can see that it is appeared on SharePoint calendar. Till this, I am good.
But, when I update the calendar item in outlook and sync both the calendars again, I don't see the updated on SharePoint calendar. Same issue with vice versa.
Can any one please help me if you had run into this sort of scenario.
Thanks in advance for your help!!
Thanks
This is expected. When you drag an item from a SharePoint calendar to an Outlook calendar, this is a very simple copy. There is no link between the two items. If you change the Outlook appointment, it will not update SharePoint. In other words, the two appointments act independently of each other.
We have been working on an Outlook add-in to solve this issue. The add-in called, ProperSync, allows direct syncing between Outlook calendars and SharePoint. You can find more information at www.propersync.com
Edit:
As a new feature in ProperSync 1.3 (beta now available) users can connect their Outlook calendar directly with a SharePoint calendar. This links the appointments directly. There is no need to drag and drop, just setup the connection and the appointment in Outlook is the same in SharePoint.
Here is a simple video demo - http://youtu.be/6l6mEsqrutU

I am using SHarepoint Workspace 2010. I was wondering if there was any way to somehow make the workspace (or even the site) work with Outlook and save emails in the document repository?
If you want to drag and drop email into any SharePoint 2010 library, SharePoint 2010 allows this out-of-the-box by selecting "Open with Explorer" from the "Connect & Export" section in the Library Tools ribbon in the applicable library. This will open a browser window, into which you may either drag/drop or copy/paste from your outlook window.
This method is exceptionally helpful when you DON'T want to set up the library to receive email.
For this, you have to integrate your outlook with sharepoint.You need to create a list, which will be seen at your outlook as well. Now when you want to send emails you have to save them in the list as well. So your emails will be saved in the sharepoint list.
There is no way of doing it. If you want to share your e-mail with broader audience you can move it to the Outlook public folder.
You could create a list which accepts emails like a discussion and setup an email address for the list in the settings. Then you can go to your Outlook and set up rules to forward emails to the list which fit a certain criteria.
Also, when viewing a list, you should be able to sync with Outlook (Connect to Outlook button) which would allow you to view it in Outlook.
Try Colligo Contributor Pro. It's an alternative for the old fashioned Sharepoint Workspace. You can do everything you want:
add all kind of files to Sharepoint
sync when you want
add emails to your Sharepoint and open them later with your mail program
add Sharepoint libs to your Outlook and sync them
For drag and drop of emails from Outlook to SharePoint we are using SharePoint Outlook Integration tool. PageLight also offers Save Outlook emails to SharePoint functionality
