Outlook Spy 2.15 is Outlook 2010 (32bit) compatible

Exchangepedia Blog - Outlook Spy 2.15 is Outlook 2010-compatible

“Didn't notice earlier— one of my favorite Outlook/Exchange tools is now compatible with Outlook 2010. Outlook Spy is primarily a tool for Outlook/Exchange developers, but Exchange administrators also find it useful. It allows you to look under the hood of mailboxes and messages. Created by Dmitry Streblechenko, an Outlook MVP, Outlook Spy has been on my list of "must have Exchange tools" for as long as I can remember. Released in November 2009, the latest version of Outlook Spy (v2.15) adds Outlook 2010 compatibility.

Outlook Spy

“OutlookSpy 2.15

OutlookSpy is the ultimate Outlook developer tool. Integrated directly into Outlook, it provides fast and convenient access to all Outlook Object Model objects, lets you examine values of the properties, call functions, browse object hierarchy and monitor Outlook events. CDO is supported too!

If you are a die-hard Extended MAPI developer or just curious about what really goes on under the hood, OutlookSpy will provide you with an access to the Extended MAPI interfaces that Outlook uses internally. See how Outlook data is stored, browse MAPI hierarchy, watch Extended MAPI notifications, or just satisfy your curiosity.

Forget about MdbView, see what you've been missing!

I usually don’t blog about closed source and/or pay packages, but I’m gladly making an exception in this case. I’ve been using Outlook Spy (and Office Spy and Redemption) for years and must say it is a must have utility for any Outlook/MAPI developer. This utility has saved my sanity more time than it’s possible for me to count. That and the fact that Dmitry provides outstanding support and is very active in the community (you’ll see him appear in many MAPI/EMAPI/Outlook dev forums) is all icing on the cake.

Now this isn’t a general user utility, but nearly Outlook/MAPI/EMAIP developer will feel right at home with it and learn to quickly love and rely on it…
