some big flaws
Pros: lots of functions
Cons: best functions very restricted
Review:
My initial reaction was very positive until I found some rather absurd flaws that greatly reduce the usefulness of the software.
I think I?m like many people who sometimes need to go back and check email conversation threads. However, in most situations, this software does not show any of the messages in the deleted folder (and does not offer any options out of this). Therefore, its so call Correspondence searches work more like searches of your sent emails. This makes the software pretty useless for this function since I can easily see all sent messages to a sender in Outlook.
Since the search function forces you to go to a subject search every time unless you reset it (again, there is no option out of this), the only way you can see all sent and received messages with any sender is to type in their entire name or address.
Of course, if you go back and file all your thousands of messages with this software (which means it will not work independently of Outlook as advertised), you can get around these restrictions. However, since most of us are not going to do this, these rather ridiculous flaws (which even their tech support could not deny), really rob this software of much of its usefulness.
