Hi hndodds, if you mean the directory to install then you can change it to any other.  Or I misunderstood you?

Victor_Ivanidze This works as expected and is pretty cool! Only thing I might suggest is a "manual override" - if the message is in the Outbox folder and you open it and uncheck the delay delivery box, the addin does not add it back.

    Victor_Ivanidze Yes, I did. I thought the price was quite reasonable, and I'm very happy with it. It even had the correct default times set!

    Hi clixby,
    are you going to buy OffHours "as is"?
    Are you interested in customized version that will work based only on standard Outlook "Work Time" feature?

    No, that example doesn’t work, you’re right.

    Hi clixby,

     

    what if John Doe  works on Monday from 8:00 AM to 11:00 and on Thursday from 3:30 PM to 6:30 PM -  can you write his work hours properly using standard Outlook "Work Time" feature?

    hndodds this is really nice.

     

    Rather than add all those entries to your calendar, could you make use of the 'Work Time' feature?

     

     

     

    It would really streamline the app. We'd be interested at that point.

     

    Thanks

    Hi hndodds, fixed now - you can  send  message immediately after

    unchecking the delay delivery box.

    Thanks hndodds, for good suggestion - I've missed  this point.
