Outlook Gadgets

I've recently discovered several handy Outlook sidebar gadgets that can help me stay up-to-date with the flood of incoming messages in my Outlook inbox. If you saw my other Outlook post, you'll know that I'm a big fan of the ClearContext add-in for Microsoft Outook, so when I saw this ClearContext gadget, I had to get it. The ClearContext Inbox Alert Gadget is a fast way to preview your Outlook email. Using priority color-coding and message sorting & filtering, the gadget gives you an "heads-up" view of your busy inbox. The gadget is a free download, and you don't have to use ClearContext to benefit from it. Combine that with two other great Outlook gadgets - Outlook Appointments and Outlook Tasks - and you can easily keep an eye on your inbox, without obsessively checking your email and calendar throughout the day.
