Shared Email Templates for Outlook was created to save your time. With this tool, you can use your templates in any Outlook, whether desktop or online, including Outlook for Windows, Outlook for Mac, and Outlook on the web. As all templates are stored in a sharing cloud-based service, you can easily share them with your colleagues united into one or several teams.
To start using Shared Email Templates, simply install the add-in, sign up, create a team, and invite your mates. If you have security concerns, just encrypt your team templates with your own team password.
