SimplyFile

Editors' ReviewDownload.com staffJuly 18, 2013TechHit's SimplyFile is an Outlook add-on that makes it extremely easy to save e-mail messages in specific folders. It uses a unique folder prediction technology to quickly determine which folder an e-mail message belongs in, without requiring you to create and maintain a bunch of complex rules. A single mouse click is enough to send most messages to the appropriate file. It also analyzes the way you use it, adapting itself to your filing habits.SimplyFile adds a customizable toolbar with control buttons and a configuration tab to the Outlook Add-In toolbar; right-clicking the tab lets you select between Standard, Advanced, and Web modes and you can customize the toolbars. A left click calls up SimplyFile's main menu, with Actions, Options, and Display Stats entries, among others. SimplyFile is easy to use, but it gets easier as it studies your habits, and a Web-based Help file is accessible from the add-in menu as well as the Windows Start menu. The interesting Quick Pick tab calls up a dialog listing folders for fast selections, and there are task and scheduling tabs, too. The most intriguing item is labeled Train SimplyFile. This calls up a wizard-like dialog that analyzes your folders to learn how and where you store messages. We browsed to a personal folder and clicked Start Training, and the program quickly analyzed the folder's contents.If you'd like to set up a raft full of message rules in Outlook to save yourself time and effort but haven't made much progress on that goal, SimplyFile can help you get there.Editor's note: This is a review of the full version of SimplyFile 2.4.4.144.
