Act4Outlook 8.0
The best just got better. The top-selling Act! addon of all time has now been improved with MANY new customer-requested features, and is one of the biggest rewrites in theis venerable product's history.
Rest assured, Act4outlook still includes superfast incoming & outcoming History recording; bi-directional copying of contacts, activities, & tasks; support for creating contacts & activities from emails, as well as the ability to create lookups in Act! from one or more emails.
The new Act4outloook v8 now includes the following feature improvements:
- Two-way Contact Sync: Expanding on Act4outlook v7's one-way synchronization, version 8 introduces bi-directional contact syncing, which will be executed on a scheduled basis. In contrast to Act!, our add-on can manually sync one or more contacts in either direction. This feature is anticipated to benefit individuals who require their phone contacts to be regularly updated for Bluetooth calls from their vehicles.
- Two-way Calendar Sync: Similar to the Contact sync mentioned earlier, users can now set up automatic bi-directional syncing of activities, with the option to manually push the remainder. This feature is anticipated to be highly beneficial for individuals who schedule appointments or accept invitations on their phone, as well as for those who require their personal calendar to mirror their Act! calendar. Recurring activities have been omitted from this two-way sync process due to synchronization challenges to prevent duplication.
- Message Linking: Act! users are not known for traveling light. In fact, many veteran users possess extensive databases, primarily due to the practice of attaching all incoming and outgoing Outlook messages to Act!. This method involves duplicating the messages as MSG files into the Act! attachments folder, with these MSG files encompassing all the embedded attachments within the message. Naturally, this can significantly increase the database size over time, leading to cost concerns for those considering a transition to Act! Premium Cloud.
The solution introduced in Act4outlook v8 was to "link" these messages to the sender's inbox. When the attachment is accessed, it retrieves it directly from the inbox instead of an MSG file duplicated in the Act! database. This linking method saves a substantial amount of space with minimal drawbacks.
The only limitation is that Act4outlook cannot link to inboxes to which it has no access, meaning that only the sender can view these links. Other users will be able to see the content of the emails in the History as plain text.
Act4outlook v8 still supports 32 & 64-bit versions of Office, and is compatible with all versions of Act! (Pro & Premium) back to v18.
After purchase, the license key, download link, and setup manual will be sent to you immediately by email.
