These last two months we’ve been busy with (among other things) implementing some customer-requested features. The result of this work is now available to the public (actually, a release candidate has already been available for a couple of weeks via MASK’s Update Check option).
Lucatec® Mask 3.0.3 introduces “PolyGone” – a new feature that we will likely also make available as a separate product in the future (if you’re interested, drop us a note to speed up that process). It allows you to control the Out-of-Office state and auto-reply text of any additional mailboxes you might have in your current Outlook profile. In this first release this still takes an “all or nothing”-approach: When the relevant options are activated, the addin will make sure that the out-of-office status (and optionally the auto-reply text) of all additional mailboxes is always in sync with that of the primary mailbox. The current plan is to extend this in the future so that you will be able to configure this at the individual mailbox level and also to explicitly set the status and auto-reply text for mailboxes rather than just synchronizing it with the primary mailbox.
Another thing we put some work into was adding an alternative mechanism for monitoring the “Sent Items” folder for new items in need of moving. This is mainly to work around an issue that occurs when using Outlook 2003 to connect to an Exchange 2010 server with Cached Mode disabled. Unless you are working with a similar setup and your sent items do not get stored in the expected places, you should simply ignore this.
It should also be mentioned that we released another service release for the Lucatec® Mask 2.x product line, containing many of the bug fixes and stability improvements that were added while producing the new version 3.x releases.
