Download and Install
- Download OutLinker.Exe installer
- (MM9 OutLinker Download.)
- (MM8 OutLinker Download.)
- If you don’t have MindManager, download OutLinker Lite.
- See instructions for Outlook 2010.
- Run OutLinker.exe
- This will replace your vbaproject.otm file in c:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\OutLook\ with the OutLinker version. Do not use this approach if you have other custom macros installed.
- The setup may warn you that the destination folder already exists, which is to be expected.
- Set your macro security to “Warning for all macros”. See Instructions for Outlook 2010 for more information. In Outlook 2007 go to Tools > Macros (F8), to set the security warning to allow Outlinker.
- Outlinker will not work in “out of the box” in Outlook 2007 or 2010 as Microsoft has removed support for the Outlook protocol. To enable the the Outlook URI protocol in Outlook 2007 or 2010 your registry needs some additions. See the table of registry setting files on the wiki and choose the one appropriate for your machine and version of Outlook.
- The “best” version of OutLinker is the “beta” version of Outlinker, which is the main download link provided.
- If you run into an unexpected bug introduced by latest feature, the previous “stable” version is available as a v8 stable download or v9 stable download as a fall back.
- Disable the MindManager Browser add-in
- Under MindManager Options,Add-ins, un-check “Browser”
Put Outlinker on your Toolbar
- In Outlook, use Tools/Customize/Commands and drag the macro “Project1.OutLinker” macro onto your menu bar. If you don’t see the macro listed, you may need to adjust your security settings first.

System Requirements
- Optional: MindReader and/or GyroQ 1.9.4.7 or 2.0. Install the latest version of MindReader using the Setup program. Note that the default MindReader macro locations changed in January 2009. If you want to use earlier version you must change the locations in OutLinker Settings. If you are using GyroQ, you should clear you queue before testing OutLinker. You should also click on “Options” box and check the “Poll Queue file status”. This will remind you that you have added tasks to the queue.
