The program claims to be able to record Skype calls. Here are some details:

• Record Skype calls to MP3 or other audio formats.
• Record incoming and outgoing calls.
• Record Skype-to-Skype, SkypeOut, SkypeIn and conference calls.
• Choose to record just your side or both sides of the call.
• Configurable bitrate to trade off quality for file size.
• Optionally record calls to high quality 48kHz PCM, with each side of the call in a separate WAV file for professional podcasting.
• Automatically record all calls, or choose to manually record individual calls.
• Choose to store recordings in any Outlook folder, or store them in a directory on your hard disk.
• Pause recording mid-call.

Apparently, the program can also get alerts:

• Receive alerts via SMS or phone when important appointments are due.
• Receive alerts via SMS or phone when important contacts come on-line.

If you want to forward, here are some of the features the developers claim are available:

• Get Skype IMs forwarded to SMS or your phone when you are away from your PC.
• Have important emails read to you over your phone when you are away from your PC.
• Get important emails forwarded to SMS when you are away from your desk.
• Get Skype voice mail messages or Skylook Answering Machine messages forwarded to your phone when you are away from your desk.
• Optionally press 1 on your phone to call the sender of any forwarded message, via Skype.

I suspect your main interest is answering machine/voice mail. Here's what we've been told Skylook can do in that area:

• Answer calls automatically with a Skype Answering Machine built into Outlook.
• Screen/Monitor Skype calls from your PC or from your phone.
• Convert incoming Skype voice mail messages to MP3 or other formats.
• Permanently archive voice mail messages.
• Forward Skype voice mail messages to others.
• Automatically forward voice mail messages to other email addresses.

The developers have "extended" the inbox, which may also add some features back you missed when SP2 was installed:

• Receive Skype voice mail messages in the Outlook inbox.
• Get missed Skype text chat messages in the Outlook inbox.
• Get missed calls in the Outlook inbox.

There are a pile of other features, but I think these may fit your needs. Good luck and remember that security should be your first concern.
