| Mail Manager Benefits | |

Mail Manager
Email overload is so common that it is almost considered inevitable, but we can help. Mail Manager organises and streamlines email workflow with two simple but powerful features: an efficient filing tool and a fast, flexible search.
Keep it together with Mail Manager
Mail Manager takes the simple approach of filing emails alongside other documents in standard system folders, either on a local PC or over the network. Keeping related documents together makes them easier to find, and the software learns filing behaviours, which guides users to file messages in the correct place. Mail Manager’s fast and powerful search saves time and makes it easy to view emails in system folders just as you would through Outlook’s preview.
Mail Manager uses the standard Microsoft dot-MSG message format, to keep your archived messages accessible. Our search provides a viewer to preview your search result or you can open them in almost any mail client. SharePoint, LiveLink, Documentum and other programs are all supported.
Mail Manager is easy to deploy, needs no server, and no complex installation or integration. Mail Manager is a straight forward local client application, which installs as a plug-in to Microsoft Outlook. This makes Mail Manager just as useful for a single-user installation as it is to enterprise-level user bases of hundreds or thousands. IT decision makers can have confidence Mail Manager is simple to deploy, maintain and provide appreciable return on investment.

| User Benefits | |
| • | Easy to use - user feedback has been consistently positive |
| • | High user acceptance - it's easy to use, makes their life easier and it works within Microsoft Outlook |
| • | Little or no training required. Once you are aware of what it can do, using it is intuitive. |
| • | Keep related data together i.e. file into file system folders alongside reports, presentations, spreadsheets etc. |
| • | Learns as you file - Mail Manager adapts to each user, giving a customised shortlist of suggested filing locations based on previous behaviour, making it quick and simple to choose where to save messages. |
| • | Because the process of filing is greatly simplified users file their emails promptly providing other users with immediate access. |
| • | Offline filing allows you to continue to file messages when disconnected from the network. Mail Manager sets the messages as pending and once reconnected to the network files the messages via a background process. |
| • | The search tool is both fast and intuitive, incorporating a preview pane with keyword highlighting to speed up the process of finding the right messages. Note: "UK IT managers are spending more than five million hours per year searching for lost emails, according to a survey. The wasted effort equates to more than £140m in staff costs" (Source: e-Media). |
| • | When searching, Mail Manager creates a local index of the emails so that subsequent searches are extremely fast. The index is structured so that it can produce a preview of messages even when disconnected from the office. This means that you could be on an airplane, search for messages, read them and even copy the text into a reply. |
| • | Emails are automatically and uniquely named when filing to system folders. |
| • | Easy feedback process - Snap 'n' Send allows you to easily snap a portion of the screen, add mark-up and the attach it to an email as a PDF, then file it as a record. |
