You can drag messages, calendar items, notes and tasks from Outlook to Topicscape. It makes a live link directly to the item in Outlook, so that any changes you make will appear on Outlook as well. Topicscape cannot automatically pull items for you from Outlook. You need to decide which ones are important and need bringing into Topicscape.
It is easy to have items in multiple categories without duplicating the content. Once dragged into Topicscape in one topic, just open the Topic Center, select the item and copy it (Ctrl+C). Then, when you wish to add it to another topic as well, open that and paste it (Ctrl+V).
