Just came across a posting that Skype has just released their Skype for Outlook Toolbar that lets you use Skype directly from Outlook and do a host of other stuff. Looks great; I’ll give it a whirl. It’s still in Beta, so you might want to use with care. |

Here’s the feature list:
- Easily match individual outlook contacts to Skype contacts.
-
See Presence, start calls and chats for all known message senders direct from the
toolbar. - See presence, call and chat to all outlook contacts known to Skype.
- Create Outlook contacts direct from incoming email.
- Use Skype to Call all Telephone numbers for Outlook contacts.
-
Use Skype to call and chat with all other known contacts in the Cc and To message
headers - Record journal entries for all incoming Skype calls
- Use Skype to call telephone numbers and even Skype names in the body of Email messages
-
Start group chats from email messages where topics are automatically set the to the
email subject - Automatically add Skype callto signatures to outgoing email messages.
- Import contacts to Skype direct from Outlook.
- Open Outlook contact automatically for incoming calls.
