Outlook for Mac 2011 and OmniFocus integration

If you happen to work in a large corporation like I do, chances are high that you need to integrate with a Microsoft Exchange environment. Dependent on how flexible and open your IT department is you can do this using IMAP or you need to go native Microsoft. In the latter case you’ll hopefully be using Outlook for Mac 2011. If you still want to integrate with your trusted OmniFocus task management, Veritrope’s new AppleScript for Outlook 2011 to OmniFocus has you covered.

This script will send any type of Outlook item/items (messages, tasks, notes, calendar items, and contacts) directly to OmniFocus’s Inbox — and even will make a new task item from a highlighted bit of text. If there is existing due date information associated with the item, that should also make the jump as well. And if you have Growl installed, you’ll receive notifications that give you status updates as Items are added.

The script is still in its early stages, but I am sure that with a little help from its user base it’ll be a perfect companion.
