EverDesk

EverDesk Standard Edition is a comprehensive yet intuitive application designed to be a replacement for Outlook and to provide an efficient method to check and organize all your emails with ease, as well as add and handle various contacts, links, programs and documents.

Compared with the Google Edition it doesn't automatically sync the contacts and calendar entries from your Google account. In order for the program to work smoothly, Internet Explorer should be present on the computer, but not mandatory. A configuration wizard is displayed when you start the tool for the first and which guides you through the necessary steps to properly set up your Gmail, Yahoo!, Windows Live or AOL Mail account. You can add as many accounts as you want.

EverDesk Standard Edition is wrapped in a well-organized and user-friendly interface divided into three distinct sections, namely Folders, Calendar and Contacts at the bottom of the window and five individual tabs (General, Links, Contacts, Programs, Documents) on the upper part. Once the account is configured, your Inbox is updated to correspond with the current one and from where you can easily check new messages, view the send and draft ones, along with attachments and other files.

The app lets you browse through different documents, images and multimedia files using a folder tree structure, as well as enable the categories and Windows directories for a full search in the whole hard drive. Records can be viewed, read and played using default system programs.

You have the option to plan upcoming events through the calendar by inputting the subject title, location, group (general, birthdays), start and end time, together with a reminder if it's the case, status and optional notes. From the same panel, you can manage what applications shortcuts should be added to the toolbar, and which can be selected from the settings menu. Same goes for the links, contacts and documents tabs.

If you want to insert a new contact, you need to fill in the complete name, organization, position, homepage, birthday, various addresses and phone numbers, email and profile image. Plus, you can create custom groups to help you arrange them easier.

Taking everything into account, EverDesk Standard Edition is a sophisticated yet approachable utility that helps you efficiently add and manage numerous contacts, check and send emails, as well as browse and view documents, images and videos, and plan future events.
