Love Your Email Again – For MS Outlook Users

OutLookLogoI used Outlook back in the day and always felt like the email aspect of the program was a bit incomplete. Microsoft addressed some of Outlook’s shortcomings in Office 2007 but there’s still a lot to be desired in terms of information management, searching and a fast workflow. Then I tried an application called Nelson Email Organizer (NEO – $1/2 off for a limited time $34.97!).

The skies cleared, the grass turned green and my email became an obedient servant giving me the right information when I needed it. If you’re using Microsoft Outlook to manage email take a look at these applications. They’re designed to help make your email workflow easier and help manage the incredible volume of email we accumulate.

NEO has a number of features that real estate professionals will love.

For example NEO tracks all correspondence to and from all your contacts. Click a contact and you’ll see all the correspondence you’ve ever had to and from that contact. Add them to a Hot List and the info is even easier to find. NEO runs on top of Outlook and simply reads & interprets your Outlook file. If you don’t like it, your Outlook data is as it always was.

Clear Context ($89.95) is another application. I have not used this application but I’ve heard good things about it. Clear Context integrates with Outlook. In other words, it adds buttons and additional functionality to the Outlook interface.Here’s a video overview of the application:[FLASH]http://www.clearcontext.com/ims_demo/ims_demo_425px.swf,425,350[/FLASH].They both have free trials so try one of these apps & you’ll love your email again.
