FlexMail 2007 and Pocket Informant 2007

PocketInformant is proud to announce the public beta releases of two very major releases: FlexMail 2007 and Pocket Informant 2007. I am announcing these two together so that we can hopefully get more exposure on this to get as much real world testing as possible. Both products are targeted for an August release (early and late respectively).

Here are the major features:

Pocket Informant 2007

* WebIS and Franklin Covey have teamed together to provide a full syncing solution with the upcoming Plan Plus for Outlook

The new features that this sync solution (provided in the box with PPO4.0) include PPO Projects, Percentage Complete, PPO Status, ABCD/0-99 priorities, task regeneration and Daily Notes. PPO is not required for the features to work within PI.

* New Franklin Covey Project Task list

* New Franklin Covey Daily Task List

* New Franklin Covey Master Task List

* Ability to set and see visually the percentage completed of a task

* Ability to set and see visually the In progress, Delegate status

* Daily Notes

* TimeZone picker for new appointment creation

* Appointments can have multiple alarms including PPC only alarms, Outlook 0-duration appts, and Travel Time (Before and After)

* Overhauled settings application

* Redesigned Journal with rich text support

* Preview windows (half screen) are now clickable

* Redesigned Date Picker with one handed use design

* Redesigned Summary screens for easier one handed use (especially Contacts)

* Visual Macro Editor

* Reworked interface for streamlined use, simpler access to features

* Fully soft key enabled and one-hand use designed

* Even with all this, PI actually uses about the same amount of memory and disk space as PI 2005 did

Now you can see why Pocket Informant remains the best professional and casual PIM on the market!

FlexMail 2007

* Now uses the same database engine as the built in Inbox app for greatly increased speed in all aspects of operation

* Mail Rules - you can now set rules on incoming POP3/IMAP emails or execute preset rules for ActiveSync accounts manually

* Support for Flags, Answered/Replied status on email

* Folder Searching lets you find any email within your folder structure

* Contacts Lookahead added to message editor

* LEMONADE IMAP extensions support

* IMAP IDLE support

* Meeting Request processing (IMAP/POP3 for now)

* Much expanded per folder download settings

* Ability to refresh list of IMAP folders without synchronization

* Font settings

* Improved SMS integration

* Refined user interface

We bring professional level email to the Windows Mobile platform. Join in and let us know how it works for you!
