We wouldn’t be ourselves, if we hadn’t fixed an issue with a 3rd party product and then shared it with the world. Many of our tools was initially created solely for our own needs, tested by us in a live environment as we grew from a small business to what we are now, and then turned into products that many of you use today. So… here we come with another tool for Outlook and iPhone/iPad aficionados.
We’ve heard from our fellow users that the iCloud feature from Apple™, which is meant to synchronize Outlook with iCloud, iPhone, iPad and other iCloud-compatible devices, is a great tool but does not really sync the stuff that you already have in Outlook but creates another set of folders.
To delve into the problem, we started using iCloud Control Panel together with Outlook for our own needs and soon we realized that our Outlook synchronization algorithms can quickly fix the issue. That’s how we came up with this:
CodeTwo Sync for iCloud enables you to automatically synchronize Microsoft Outlook folders with iCloud folders – the rest is in done by iCloud itself. The program will let you seamlessly synchronize Outlook calendar, tasks and contacts with your smartphone. And, as always, it’s easier and faster than you can imagine.
Microsoft Outlook’s tasks feature is very powerful, but it isn’t as sexy and as convenient as most users would like it to be. Thus, scores of users resort to tasks and project tools that live outside Outlook. Maybe Outlook tasks would come in handy if they had more features and were more intuitive? Wouldn’t it be great to assign and track tasks or projects of the entire team still being inside Outlook together with all your email, calendars and contacts?
We simply took the default Outlook workflow and turned it into a comfortable, natural experience. Today we’re pulling back the curtain to reveal a new tool for Outlook – CodeTwo Task Workflow. This free and intuitive add-in lets you create and manage Outlook tasks and projects in an easy and intuitive way thanks to additional functions, revamped workflow view, substatuses, statistics and a bunch of other great functions. Just check it out for yourself:
As always, this free tool is totally adware free . No strings attached. Just freeeee… tools.
CodeTwo’s office is closed on Easter Monday (April 25th) and all your technical or sales inquiries will be answered the following day. Sorry for any inconveniences, but we desperately need to hunt eggs. Let’s see what’s in my garden!
Take a look at this short film by Paul Yan, which shows how sharing is important in our life.
It’s been a while since CodeTwo’s last software giveaway contest on MSExchange.org ended. We randomly picked 10 winners and the 10th selected person was supposed to get iPad 2 and CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro. We, however, could not get hold of the luckiest person in the drawing until February 2012. Finally, Mahendra Mane responded to my email and we could send him the main prize. Just look at this sheer happiness:
Congratulations Mahendra! We’re happy we could end the contest as we had initially planned.

We’ve got another great crew member on board of our software distributors. An Italian company ACHAB has just teamed up with CodeTwo becoming our exclusive distributor for Italy. Check out ACHAB’s website.
And.. if you speak Italian you can take a look at this Brochure. I’ve just read it and I think I’m getting the hang of it! So far I can say Microsoft Outlook and CodeTwo Public Folders in Italian!
We’re happy to announce that the latest version of CodeTwo Outlook Sync, an Outlook add-in synchronizing Outlook between two computers, has been just released.
The first version of CodeTwo Outlook Sync took its first breath just few months ago, and since then the program has become one of the most popular CodeTwo Outlook extensions. We’re extremely happy so many of you use it either as freeware or full version. We’d also like to say thank you for contacting us and letting us know about bugs and features you dislike.
Since we listen to our customers and, naturally, we want them happy, the latest release of CodeTwo Outlook Sync (1.0.6) fixes a number of issues reported by our customers. We changed the way the program works in freeware mode – now you can use it as a full version for 30 days, and then it switches to demo mode still allowing you to sync default calendar and contacts in Outlook between two machines. We’ve also introduced a duplicate item warning. The other fixes are as follows:
In certain circumstances, when the program icon was clicked in the system tray, the sync wizard was not displayed correctly.
In certain circumstances the program displayed incorrect information on the online status of the remote computer.
The program incorrectly communicated the offline status to a remote machine.
Improved mechanism of connecting computers – it is possible to connect computers by computer name and IP address.
In certain circumstances the Autosync function got looped or was abruptly stopped.
Sometimes Autosync function was not started.
Updating the program is free of charge for all CodeTwo Outlook Sync users. Just install the program on top of the existing installation – all your settings will be kept safe.
If you’ve just stumbled upon this post accidentally and want to find out more about CodeTwo Outlook Sync, take a look at this short video presenting how to quickly sync Outlook between two machines.
There are lots of ways you can utilize CodeTwo Outlook Sync:
sync Outlook between home desktop and laptop;
sync Outlook between you and your wife, mother, father, uncle or whoever you are close to;
share Outlook with your boss, secretary or co-worker;
let your cat and dog share Outlook files… ok maybe I went too far here ;)

Summer holidays usually slow down all businesses except for travel agencies and other holiday related companies. But when the summer ends, the business world accelerates.
We had a little slow-down in August at CodeTwo because most of us was on holidays. But we’re back now and, cracked by the sun, we have already kicked-off a new programming season! We’re moving to a rapid development cycle to deliver new features in existing programs, give you completely new freewares and to create brand new products that will make your life easier, as usually. To unveil a secret, I can tell you there will be some amazing new stuff added to CodeTwo Public Folders. We will also release a free tool for Microsoft Exchange and CodeTwo Public Folders users, which significantly improves working with Outlook tasks. Project codenamed X is something I cannot tell you about yet. Well… I can tell you everything but I’d have to imprison you until the app is released.
So… to keep abreast with the latest news, visit our blog regularily!
