    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.

    Stop Leaving Outlook Open 24/7

    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

    The Hidden Cost of Outlook Add-Ins

    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.

    The Real-World Impact of Outlook Dependency

    Common MAPILab User Experiences:

    💥 "Outlook crashed overnight." Woke up to 73 unprinted orders. Spent morning manually printing everything.

    🔄 "Windows update restarted my PC."MAPILab stopped working. Forgot to reopen Outlook. Lost half a day of print jobs.

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

    🐌 "Outlook is slow now." Running 24/7 with a heavy add-in makes Outlook sluggish. Affects all email work.

    With AutoPrintEmail:

    ✅ Outlook crashes? AutoPrintEmail keeps printing. You might not even notice.

    ✅ Computer restarts? AutoPrintEmail auto-starts. No manual intervention needed.

    ✅ Power outage? Once power's back, AutoPrintEmail resumes. Outlook doesn't even need to be installed.

    ✅ Outlook stays fast. Use it for email, not as a print server.

    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."

    E-commerce Manager

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why is being standalone better than an Outlook add-in?

    Outlook add-ins like MAPILab only work when Outlook is open and running. This means your computer must stay on 24/7 with Outlook running. AutoPrintEmail is standalone - it connects directly to the mail server, so Outlook can stay closed. More reliable, less resource-intensive.

    What happens when Outlook updates?

    Outlook add-ins frequently break during Outlook updates, requiring reinstallation or reconfiguration. AutoPrintEmail doesn't rely on Outlook, so updates don't affect it. Printing continues uninterrupted.

    Can I close Outlook and still have emails print?

    Yes! That's the main advantage. MAPILab requires Outlook to be open. AutoPrintEmail connects directly to the email server independently, so Outlook can be closed or not even installed.

    Is AutoPrintEmail more reliable than MAPILab?

    Users who switched report significantly better reliability. No dependency on Outlook staying open means no crashes from Outlook freezing, no broken add-ins after updates, and no need to leave computers running overnight.
