eFiler

eFiler is a versatile plugin for Outlook that simplifies email management for both home and business users, allowing for the easy storage of your messages inside shared folders, which can be accessed by your coworkers and colleagues.

In addition to this, the add-on delivers a powerful search function that can locate emails based on multiple criteria quickly and efficiently. All of these are possible without ever leaving Outlook.

The feature set encased by eFiler is quite rich and because of that, you’ll be needing a few trial runs in order to figure out everything there is to know about it.

The add-on creates a quick toolbar inside Outlook, from where you will be able to experiment with it. Beginners are strongly advised to consult the Help file before making any modifications.

Prior to storing the emails, it is recommended that you create the list of the directories that you will be using to save the items and this can easily be done using the dedicated dialog or via the Explorer’s context menu.

Once you’ve done that, you can start filing emails by clicking on them and launching the eFiler module that allows you to select where exactly you’d like to store your messages.

With the search function, you can quickly locate one or more emails containing a certain keyword, as well as based on criteria such as subject, date range, sender and recipients. The results are returned almost immediately, with the right-click menu offering possibilities to further manage the messages.

The eFiler Rules Manager allows you to automate the email filing operation by using custom conditions defined by the user. The advantage of this module is that it can process both incoming and outgoing messages, as opposed to Outlook’s Rule Manager that features support only for inbox emails.

On an ending note, eFiler is an efficient Outlook assistant that can simplify email management across networks, with advanced filtering and great search functions which will reduce user efforts and improve productivity.
