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.
Add filed category
To visually identify filed and non filed items by a coloured category i.e. 'Filed by Mail Manager'
Note; The filed category is enabled by default only applied to the item in the user's mailbox
These preferences determine which options are available to the user when filing messages that contain attachments.
Select the various options as required
Also see: Filing attachments
To enable the use of categories in the Filing window, select the Update... button.
Using the Categories Editor Add, Edit or Delete the categories you require:
Select OK to save.
Note: Categories will be available to all users via the filing window options.
Disable editing of the path

Enable filing by double clicking desired location in the Mail Manager filing dialog
When selected, this allows the users to double-click the filing location to quickly file the message using the default options.
Show the collection name in the quick file menu
When enabled descriptions in the quick file menu will be prefixed with the collection name
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
When selected, the Filing Options pane will always be expanded (only available when the "Always file emails with filing dialog" preference is enabled).
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.
