Sharing collections and locations

Sharing collections and locations

Previous page Return to chapter overview Next page

An important feature of Mail Manager is that collections and their associated filing locations can be shared with colleagues. This brings the following benefits:
 

Reduces duplication of effort; Only one user needs to create a filing location and it will automatically be available to their colleagues
Consistency of location folders e.g. the similar folders are used for each client email or project email folders
Common naming of descriptions providing familiarity for all users
Straight away new users are more productive by not having to learn how to create locations
Higher rate of adoption, because it makes filing so easy

 


A collection file (.mmcollection) and its associated filing locations can be shared by saving the collection file to a shared folder.

Anyone adding an existing collection to their Mail Manager will see the same list of filing locations as their colleagues.

Changes that are saved to a shared collection will automatically synchronize for all users within approximately one minute.
