We are happy to inform you that we have released version 2.3.0 of Lucatec® Mask. This is a major technology release with significant changes to the way the addin works “under the hood” as well as major updates to our development stack. It also adds a couple of minor new features, such as improvements to the installer and improved handling of multi-user environments like Citrix or Terminal Server.
The most visible change however is a redesigned configuration interface. As the regular tab on Outlook’s Options dialog was already getting a little crowded and as we are fully intending to add more features in the future we decided to move the options to their own sub-dialog that could more easily be adjusted to additional configuration options.
Oh yes, and Lucatec® Mask 2.3.0 has been fully tested under Microsoft® Windows 7 Beta 1! 
Please refer to the Release Notes for a more detailed list of changes.
To install the update, just download the installer from our Download page, login as Administrator and run the setup program. You do not need to uninstall the previous version. Please make sure that Outlook is not running while you install the update.
Besides the new release we have also begun adding new content to the Lucatec® Mask product pages. There is now a Feature Matrix available, allowing you to easily compare changes between different versions of Lucatec® Mask. We have also set up a Blog which should allow us to publish new information, tutorials, best-practices, etc. in a more ad-hoc fashion than the existing pages allowed. This will also eventually replace our old News page.
Kind regards,

We are happy to inform you that we have released version 2.2.1 of our Outlook Team Tool, Lucatec® Mask. This is mainly a service release fixing a number of rarely encountered issues.
Furthermore, it is now possible to add an additional column to your folder views to display the name of the person who actually sent a message (rather than the account that it was sent on behalf of). In order to start recording and displaying this information bring up any folder’s Properties dialog and look out for the button labelled “Add Sender Column” on the Lucatec® Mask tab.
Please refer to the Release Notes for a more detailed list of changes and possible upgrade issues.
To install the update, just download the installer from our Download page, login as Administrator and run the setup program. You do not need to uninstall the previous version. Please make sure that Outlook is not running while you install the update.
