Access a webpage within Outlook 2010

Ever get sick of switching between Outlook 2010 (or 2007, or 3ven 2003) and your web browser? Try this (at our own risk, of course):

Add a new folder to your Personal Folders:

Webpage in Outlook_2010
Webpage in Outlook_2010

Right click on the folder and select “Properties” and the “Home Page” tab.

Type your web url into the box- mine is for google dot com.

Select the check mark labelled “Show home page by default for this folder”.

Click OK.

Webpage in Outlook 2010 dialog box

 Now the cool part! When you click on your folder, your web page loads directly within Outlook!

The only caveat is that the page actually works and doesn’t throw script errors. I’ve only found that happen with complex web pages.
