Macro to get around: Outlook Issue : "Send Time" time stamp information is incorrect when you send a delayed delivery message in Outlook

' UPDATED 20160302 to include capability to support specific Outlook Accounts, Set the ACCOUNT_NAME const to mailbox, macro will run in that context.

Download latest here: 

'******************
' This macro module was created because Outlook DeferredDelivery sets the SendTime to the time you click Send not the actual time  the email leaves the Outbox
' SEE HERE: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/247176

' So I created this macro, download below,

'   DeferSendWithRealSentTime
'   This Module will check outbox if item has DeferredDelivery time set then this macro will send that item to recipients with the REAL SEND Time

'   To automate this we use a periodic function via win32/64 Timer will poll outbox every 1 min
'   Items with Defered Deliv set and now is within 10 min of Defered Deliv, this will clone the email item, send it.


Example of how it works:
In Outlook:
Create new email set DelayDeliverTime to something like for example:
As an example Times:
DeferDeliveryTime: 3:00PM
now is 2:30PM
Click Send
At 2:50PM the macro will fire, the email will be sent to recipients and the SentTime will be 2:50PM and NOT 2:30!!!!!!! Voila the MS issue is fixed.

SharePoint 2010/2013 Library Does not Open in Windows Explorer

Its great using the drag/drop features of the shell with SP, however if some pre-req's are not installed then the Toolbar item will not be enabled and we can't use the lovely "windows explorer browse SharePoint document library" feature.

Working on a servers via RDP I have run across this several times where the toolbar item is greyed out, after trial and tribulations here was a solution I found that worked:

1. Make sure the The WebClient Service  feature is added to the Win2008 server (and maybe 2012 server via Desktop Experience feature?) 
2. Ensure the SP Site is added to trusted sites
3. Use IE 7 or above

The toolbar item Open in Explorer should then be enabled.

Using Lync From Chrome

FYI, I came across this which has fixed my Chrome to Lync Desktop activation issue, When I click Join Lync in Chrome it would open the browser plugin because it could not detect and activate the desktop Lync, IE does, so this work-around, however kluge it is uses "IE Tabs" in Chrome, any http://meet* opens in IE tab thus activating Lync desktop....lol
