Lookout is lightning-fast search for your email, files, and desktop works with Microsoft Outlook®.

Lookout was acquired by Microsoft in June, 2004. Since that time, we have been hard at work building the MSN Toolbar Suite, which is a new search product from MSN. At this point Lookout is still available to use, but future developments from MSN will be in the MSN Toolbar Suite product. Existing Lookout users are welcome to continue to use Lookout as long as they wish, or upgrade to the new MSN product.

If you like Google Calendar but the only supported calendar at work is the Microsoft Outlook one, this tool is going to make your life much easier.

Google Calendar Sync is a software app developed by the Google team with which you can sync events between your Google Calendar and the Microsoft Outlook calendar. Synchronization works in several ways: either one-way from Google to Outlook, one-way from Outlook to Google or two-way between both apps.

When installing Google Calendar Sync you'll need to close Microsoft Outlook and also provide your username and password for your Google account. Once you've done that you're pretty much ready to go. Google Calendar Sync shows an icon on the system tray (which is really not that informative) and can be set to synchronize events according to a customized period of time. Also, events are fully editable inside Google Calendar's web interface.

On the downside, all the events I had in shared calendars were not successfully synced so I guess it only works with your own personal calendars.

Despite not working with shared calendars, Google Calendar Sync is still a very handy tool to keep both Microsoft Outlook and Google Calendar fully synced.

Although Internet speeds are getting quicker and email providers are offering more mailbox storage space, it's still no excuse for bombarding people with huge attachments. Yes, I know it's much easier to just dump the original file you want to send into the message, but programs like WinZip Companion mean you don't have to do this. The application allows you to zip and unzip files within Outlook with the greatest of ease.

WinZip Companion delivers several useful tools for helping you achieve smaller file sizes. The plug-in, which works exactly like the popular WinZip utility, provides a handy interface for compressing files directly before they are sent. It can bundle several different files into a single attachment, making things a lot easier for both you and the recepient of the email.

It's also very secure, because the software boasts built-in 256-Bit encryption. This means you can apply passwords to attachments so that they can only be opened by those who are authorised to do so. You can also opt to exclude certain file formats from compression if you so desire.

If you're an Outlook user and you send and receive attachments regularly then you can't afford to be without this program, as it will dramatically speed up transfer times and save precious space in your mailbox

Outlook Express and Microsoft Outlook have support for stationery, which means you can add a colourful background to your email messages and make them funnier and more personal.

This Halloween pack includes a collection of 12 stationery items that you can use in Outlook to give your emails a horrifying touch. They all display Halloween motifs such as pumpkins, witches and disguised children with treat bags. Font type is selected by default, but you can replace it with your favourite one. I couldn't change the bold setting though.

One last tip: remember to use a light text color when using a dark background – that is, if you really want to be read.

There's nothing more confusing or annoying than having duplicate e-mails or contacts in your inbox. Outlook Express Duplicate Killer is a powerful "search and destroy" application which uses algorithms to locate duplicates in seconds. You can choose between an easy one-click duplicate removing-merging process or a sophisticated wizard. If you perform the task regularly, you can even save your search settings and then access it from the Outlook Express Toolbar.

Obviously, this program only works on Outlook Express which is shame because a tool like this for Outlook would be a real bonus for many office workers. The trial version is fully functional although it will only search and find duplicates, and remove 10 files at a time. It's also limited to 14 days of use.

If you're plagued by contact and duplicate mail confusion in Outlook Express then look no further.

When I first heard about Naughty Clock Screesaver I was rather expecting something a little different to what I got. Instead of the bevy of sordid images I was hoping for, I was presented with a series of animated clock faces featuring forlorn teddy bears and winking babies. Having recovered from this initial shock, I came to realise that this is probably quite a nice screensaver if you're seven years old.

The cartoons are colourful and beautifully drawn, and the hands of the clock are animated in a fun and original way. You can even add a soundtrack of MP3s to accompany the ticking clocks, with the option to create your own playlists. This trial version is spoiled somewhat by the fact that registration reminders pop up whenever you enter the configuration menu and, more annoyingly, block the view of the screensaver itself from time to time.

If you're a young child or if you have a young child then this cutesy screensaver represents a great way of having fun while learning how to tell the time.
