I found this one via that venerable treasure trove of productivity and enlightenment, Lifehacker.
Paul Nilsen has done a great job with this extremely short screencast that shows you how to automatically apply color to incoming email in Microsoft Outlook. Although it is a little light on written instructions (the kind you could print out), this task is so easy a short screencast might be just enough. Maybe I’ll ask Ryn to write about it in one of her upcoming articles (she may already have this planned for the Outlook series we are currently in, I don’t know). Paul has done a great job with this screencast, the production quality is very high. I’m going to have to learn how to do some of the things he does with Camtasia, because it really takes the recording to the next level. Warning: this one has sound, that some people have commented is LOUD. I think Paul has fixed the problem, but I didn’t notice a problem in the first place.

Thanks very much for the mention. I’m working on a follow up Screencast that will cover automatically routing email based on sender name, as well as keywords, so be on the lookout for that in the channel guide later today.
I’m happy to contribute and share what I know about Camtasia, so feel free to email me at info at paulnilsen.com anytime.
