AutoPrintEmail vs MAPILab Print Tools - The Add-In Killer
MAPILab requires Outlook to run 24/7. AutoPrintEmail is a standalone app that works even when Outlook is closed. Same printing, way less hassle.
MAPILab is an Outlook add-in. It only works when Outlook is open. That means your computer stays on, Outlook stays running, and you pray nothing crashes overnight. There's a better way.
Standalone App
Works independently. Outlook can stay closed.
More Reliable
No Outlook crashes = No missed print jobs
Any Email Provider
Gmail, IMAP, not just Outlook/Office 365
What MAPILab Doesn't Tell You:
Your Computer Must Stay On
MAPILab is an add-in. Add-ins need the host app running. That means Outlook runs 24/7. Which means your computer runs 24/7. Electricity bills. Fan noise. Wear and tear.
Outlook Crashes = Print Jobs Stop
Outlook freezes. Outlook updates. Outlook crashes. Windows updates force restart. Every time, your printing stops. Wake up to 50 unprinted orders.
Complex Installation & Troubleshooting
COM add-in registration. Trust Center settings. Outlook restarts. When it breaks (and add-ins break), good luck figuring out why.
Locked to Outlook Only
Switch to Gmail? Use IMAP? Too bad. MAPILab only works with Outlook desktop. Change email = change software.
AutoPrintEmail: Independence Day
Standalone Desktop App
Runs independently. Close Outlook. Close your browser. AutoPrintEmail keeps working. Your laptop can sleep.
Works When You're Not There
Leave for the weekend. Orders still print. No Outlook running. No computer on. Just a dedicated print server (or your office computer running our lightweight app).
Any Email Provider
Gmail, Outlook, Office 365, IMAP, Yahoo, Zoho. Pick any email service. We work with all of them.

⚡ "Power outage." Computer shut down. Outlook didn't auto-start. MAPILab didn't work until I got back from lunch.

I used MAPILab for 2 years. Every Windows update was a nightmare - would Outlook restart correctly? Would the add-in still work? Switched to AutoPrintEmail and forgot what that stress felt like. It just works. No Outlook babysitting required.

What Our Users Say
Join thousands of satisfied customers
"MAPILab required keeping Outlook open 24/7. My computer kept crashing overnight and I'd miss prints. AutoPrintEmail runs independently - Outlook can stay closed. No more crashes."
Sarah Johnson
Former MAPILab User
"I was tired of leaving my office computer on all night just to keep Outlook running for MAPILab. AutoPrintEmail doesn't need Outlook open. Way more reliable and saves electricity."
David Rodriguez
Small Business Owner
"MAPILab broke constantly when Outlook updated. AutoPrintEmail is standalone software that doesn't depend on Outlook add-ins. Haven't had a single issue since switching."
Amanda Chen
Office Manager
"Every Windows update meant reconfiguring MAPILab. The add-in would stop working and printing would halt. AutoPrintEmail just works - no Outlook add-in headaches."
Robert Kim
Warehouse Supervisor
"I used MAPILab for 2 years. Every Windows update was a nightmare - would Outlook restart correctly? Would the add-in still work? Switched to AutoPrintEmail and forgot what that stress felt like."
Patricia Miller
Operations Director
"MAPILab subscription was costing us $60/year and we still had to leave Outlook running 24/7. AutoPrintEmail is $99 lifetime and works independently. Best switch we made."
