Today we are happy to share with you some preliminary results of our testing Lucatec® Mask 2.3.2 (build 441) with the Technical Preview build of the upcoming Microsoft Outlook 2010. First off: All of the addin’s core functionality (i.e. setting senders, moving sent items and inserting signatures, all based on context) already works as expected. So it is generally already possible to use Lucatec® Mask with the new Outlook 2010.
It should also be noted however, that as was to be expected not everything works right out of the box yet, 
all because of some major changes in the Outlook user interface. Most notably the From field is no longer a simple text field but has become its own thing entirely (see screenshot to the right) which currently prevents Lucatec® Mask from visually updating the sender name (i.e. the displayed From value does not reflect the sender that will actually be used). Furthermore, because of significant changes in the way that addin option pages are integrated with the other Outlook options, setting up signature insertion is a bit fiddly with the current build. Drop us a note if you want to play a little yourself and need assistance for getting things working.
Needless to say that we will make sure these glitches are resolved before or shortly after the final release of Microsoft Office 2010. So far we are pleasantly surprised with the latest Office package and do not expect any major holdups in providing full compatibility.
