Post installation, Outlook profiles all add-ins for the first 5 times to optimize their ideal loading sequence. You might notice a delay of not more than 1 second in this process. After about 6 such runs, Outlook automatically optimises TMO for the best possible load sequence.
TMO generates logs only in case of errors. The log files are located in %AppData%\vi8\tmo\logs folder where %AppData% is the standard environment variable defined on Windows. If you see any exceptions there please do email us the logs at [email protected]. You may also find logs created by Outlook in the Event Viewer of your system.

TMO generates a few log files in case it runs into problems. However there could be potential situations when Outlook refuses to load TMO. To see what is preventing Outlook from loading TMO you can either look at the Application Logs in the Windows Event Viewer or you can set up a system environment variable that forces Outlook to show the errors it is facing. To do this follow the steps as explained here to add a system environment variable with the name of VSTO_SUPPRESSDISPLAYALERTS and set its value as 0 (zero). Then close and launch Outlook again. This time Outlook should show you an error message detailing the problem it is facing. Copy that error text and please email us on [email protected]
TMO bridges a much needed gap in the Application Lifecycle Management process. Outlook is a key tool for communications within any enterprise. To have the ability of linking work items in TFS with Outlook's emails, tasks and appointments is fantastic! TMO has certainly helped us make a giant leap within our ALM processes.
We heavily use TMO with Outlook calendar appointments. After every client meeting a user story is created within TFS linked to the appointment in Outlook. This is brilliant for us as at any given time we can tell the clients our progress on that day's meeting's action item simply by opening up that User Story and its linked TFS work items right from within Outlook. This has reduced the turn around time of our client status updates by around 27%!
