Works seamlessly with Outlook | Continue to use all the flexibility of Outlook while taking advantage of NEO email productivity features. |
Can switch easily between NEO and Outlook. Most email features available within NEO. |
Virtual folders | Messages are much easier to find because they are displayed in more locations. |
Our shortcut technology allows a message to appear in more than one location without copying. |
Quick File | Two quick ways to file reduce the time and hassles of managing Outlook folders. |
Quick File is a single-click way to move a message out of your Inbox. Quick File Recent is a single-key way to display your recently filed-to folder for quick folder selection. |
NEO Power Search | All your messages are instantly accessible. Save time and headaches by searching up to 100 times faster than Outlook. |
Every word in every single message is fully indexed on-the-fly. |
Bulk Mail | Reduce clutter by moving lower priority email to the background. |
NEO automatically re-directs your e-newsletters, discussion lists, etc. into individual or grouped bulk mail folders. |
Caller ID for email | See who new messages are from without going to NEO - fewer unnecessary interruptions. |
A balloon announcing new mail appears in the system tray. Customizable -- you decide type of messages for notification. |
Folder groups | Makes dealing with multiple people from a single organization easier. |
Create group folders for easier organization. |
Automatic folder organization | Folders you use often are auto-managed into New, Current and Dormant top-level folders so you don't have to spend time doing it manually. |
For example, you could specify that any folders in Current, that have not been actively used for 1 year, be automatically moved by NEO into the Dormant area. Or move them manually. |
Block Spam Senders | Can deal with spam senders once instead of each time they send Spam. |
With the click of a button, all future email from the sender's address is directed to a restricted 'Spam Senders' folder that you can browse or empty. |
Messages stored once - in Outlook | Your Outlook message store, folders and messages remain safely intact. |
NEO does not take copies of messages -- it only creates indexes to them. |
User-defined Outlook folders | Continue to create Outlook folders and use Outlook rules. You can still organize by folders that you create. No loss of your Outlook folder organization. |
The Outlook view shows all your Outlook folders. You can copy messages to these folders and create new folders just as you can in Outlook. |
