Shared Email Templates is a brand-new Outlook add-in to empower your emailing experience. 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 your templates, simply install the add-in via the Microsoft Office Store, sign in, create a team and invite your mates. If you have security concerns, just encrypt your templates with your own secret key.

Hi guys!
Just discovery what appear to be a bug on Outlook Shared Template Plugin: I can't login on the server (through outlook client and online, or even through https://email-templates.app/#/signin) when I'm connect via my OpenVPN client. The problem is promptly solved when I disconnect my VPN.... Could you please help me on how to solve that problem?

Is it possible to reorder templates in a folder?
Hello,
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, it is not possible. We have not implemented this option considering possible performance issues and UI responsiveness slowdown. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Hello!
I have used your application for Microsoft Outlook since last year. Last week, after the Windows update, the application began to require my e-mail and password (I have already forgotten both because they were never mentioned before). I tried to enter ALL of my e-mails to recover the password, but no reaction (wrong email). What should I do? Thank you!
