Sync Outlook via a USB drive

Sync Outlook via a USB drive

My mobile phone allows me to sync my contacts and calendar with Outlook on my main machine. I'm using a laptop as well and the sync application allows me to sync my contacts and calendar information back to Outlook on my desktop. I'm using POP3 and therefore I cannot sync all my mail folders with the server.

Is there a way I can have this "plug it in and it syncs" functionality with my email as well such as via a USB flash drive?

Send files and report updates automatically

Send files and report updates automatically

My work involves updating a spreadsheet with new information and then send out this updated spreadsheet directly to several customers. At the end of the week, I also have to send them the latest report.

The way I do this now is by using a draft message which is pre-addressed already. Once I'm done updating, I open a copy of this draft, add the latest spreadsheet as an attachment and send it out.

For the report I do something similar and have a recurring task reminder set at the end of the week to remind me to send it out.

Since this is a very large part of my work (I update multiple spreadsheets and send out multiple reports), the Outlook process is rather cumbersome. Is there any way I can skip a few steps in this process?

Is there a way to enable the scrollbar or any other way to read long notes more easily?
