Re: how to I use my eccopro with today's email services like gmail

Hi Cyril,

I am “out of office” now, I will be able to look into my Outlook only  next week.

But here is the original source for the macro: http://blog.mutable.net/post/2006/09/02/how_to_hyperlink_to_microsoft_outlook_messages.aspx

If you will be able to copy message id from Outlook the Ecco part is a piece of cake (it can be done even without eccoext, aka EE, aka Extension)

Best regards,
JS

Thanks JS
I will try out your suggestion of a macro in outlook but I don't know visual Basic. Can you provide me with a three Vb script you use? 
I have had trouble with the auto assign rules with eccoExt and could never get it going. Itappears morecomplicated than in the original eccopro.Is there a link to some basic info regarding this?

  As far is I know Ecco does not work as a mailer, i.e. it cannot send and receive mails, and you cannot read an email in Ecco unless you copy it there as a text.

  Nevertheless, Ecco and MS Outlook works well together, at least for me. By adding a macro to Outlook I can copy in one click any info from an email in Outlook (I copy the subject line, and message ID) into clipboard and then to Ecco. By using a simple auto-assign rule into Ecco, the message ID is added to Net Location folder, and as a result the email in Outlook can be opened by clicking the corresponding Ecco item. And that’s is quite convenient. (Outlook creates a unique ID for each message, so these links works even if the outlook .pst file is moved to another location, on another computer, etc.)

  There was a discussion on this, some years ago in the sister group:

  (It’s almost impossible to find anything in yahoo groups.)

  Hello  
  I have used Ecco for a while but have never figured out how to use it with today's email services like Gmail or outlook mail. I dont have an email handler but am prepared to installed MS outlook from MS office if I knew how to have EccoPro work with Outlook; Can someone briefly tell me how to do it, or point me to a link that discusses this (as it likely is not a new question).

  Thanks

  Cyril
