Prompt me to file:

Sent messages

When selected, Mail Manager will prompt the user to file any sent message i.e. the "File message" window will appear before the message is sent.

 

Received messages when closing an opened message (requires restarting Outlook)

When selected, each time the user closes a message window the filing window will appear.

 

Meeting requests and responses

When selected, Mail Manager will prompt the user to file any meeting requests or responses

 

Skype for Business/Lync conversation history (requires restarting Outlook)

When selected, Mail Manager will prompt the user to file conversations when saved by Outlook i.e. the "File conversation" window will appear shortly after the conversation is saved.

 

 


After filing:

Move to 'Filed Items'

Once a copy has been filed the original will be moved to the Outlook folder called Filed Items.

 

Move to 'Deleted Items'

Once a copy has been filed the original will be moved to the Outlook folder called Deleted Items.

 

Append filed date & time to subject line

The subject line of the original message will be modified to indicate when it was filed.

 

And file the message I'm replying to

After sending a reply to a message, the message you are replying to will also be filed into the same location.

 

Send a link to the filed item after filing

Rather than forwarding or copying a message on to others and creating duplicates, Mail Manager can be used to file a single message and automatically generate a notification email containing links to the message (once filed). This "lightweight" email can be sent to other colleagues. Upon receipt the colleagues can select the links to open the filed message. The default font used for the notification email can be controlled as required.

 

Mark item subject as Reviewed

To identify to other colleagues that you have reviewed or seen the message, in a similar way that you might initial or sign a paper document, you can update the subject line to include when you reviewed the message. The precise wording used can be configured via the Filename patterns.

Only file using the filing dialog

When enabled "File Email" will open the filing dialog i.e. the quick file menus will not be available.

 

Always show filing options

Disable "Send Only" button

When selected together with the "Prompt to file sent messages" it will ensure all sent messages are filed.

 

Use UTC for filing time

Used to avoid filing duplicates when Mail Manager users are located in different time zones.

When enabled, the sent, received and filing date and times are based on UTC rather than local time.
