Automated Address Book Appender for Outlook

admin — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 02:33:53 +0000

When an incoming email contains the EXECUTIVES NAME with FULL CONTACT INFORMATION BLOCK, you can Auto Post all of their contact information fields into your Outlook Address Book. Microsoft Outlook only has an option to automate the auto insertion of just the email address and that only occurs when you send the email.

This enhancement auto inserts (first and last name, full postal record, email address, all phone numbers and notes) directly into your Outlook Address Book creating a tremendous time saver. It gets even better—-Instead of just being reactive to incoming emails you can be proactive too: You can actually send an email either individually or to everyone in your address book, at any time, which contains their “contact information form” asking your contacts to fill in any missing contact information fields! The completed forms automatically update your Address Book!

It even gets better! Every email you open you will have an adjustable right hand side bar contact information panel on that email sender right next to senders email so you don’t have waste time going to your Address book to run a search for anyone! Additionally, this side bar contains a Notes Box which allows you to make notes into their contact information form which of course stays with every email they send for you to review customer service or sales history.

If you’re like most people you never want to interrupt your train of thought by taking the time to copy and paste every information field of an executive into your address book. Then when you need that executives contact information in the future you are forced to waste time doing a search to find and old email to scroll through to see –what maybe an “out of date”—contact signature block! No more of that wasted time. Time is money! These minutes add up to hours of wasted time every year!

You will say: How the “blank” did I ever function without this!

Personalize Bulk Emails & Avoid Email Sending Limits – Outlook Plugin

admin — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 02:34:18 +0000

Let’s say you have a large address list to send and this poses a few challenges:

(Problem One): Impersonal Emails:

Instead of using the more personal approach of emailing using the “To: Line” insert all those emails into the email headers “BCC: Line” so as to not disclose your emails addresses to all recipients; but this is a very impersonal approach.

(Problem Two) Group emailing, especially under BCC option causes your email to have problems getting through email filters as email filters flag such emails.

(Problem Three) Limitations on the Amount of Emails included within on SENDING. Almost all ISP’s will impose some limit on the amount of email addresses that can be included within each send.

The above problems are all solved by….

When you create your bulk email use place holders: $First_Name $Last-Name or $Full_Name in the subject line and /or the email body and the actual names from your Outlook Address Book will be auto inserted for the place holders to personalize each email. Then simply take your entire bulk list and insert it into the ( “To: Line:” ) not the BCC Line because Outlook Wizard is going to replicate your entire email presentation for every email address and personally send them all individually! Now everyone will get your email and believe that you took the time to write to them personally and they are addresses by name within the email headers To: Line! Tremendous for Sales Follow-ups and customer service or simply sending an email to a group of friends!

Email By Color Categories in Microsoft Outlook

admin — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 14:35:05 +0000

Outlooks color categories is a great feature to organize contacts as it has several advantages over developing separate email distribution lists; however under Outlook there’s no built-in support for emailing your contacts by selected categories! That problem is now history as Our “Send to Category” feature offers a fast and easy solution for emailing your categories. Just click the “Send to category” dropdown button in the main Outlook window and simply select which category you want to email and your email will be created automatically!

Remember your color categories can organize not only your contacts, but organize other outlook items (like emails, appointments) too. Send to Category feature ignores all non-contact items marked with a given color and if there aren’t any contacts at all in selected category you will even get a warning message so you can’t make a mistake.

Email Encryption for Outlook

admin — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 14:35:33 +0000

There are several new “email sniffer software” software programs on the market which allow thieves to simply enter your businesses domain name and read all your business emails as if you were sending a postcard in the mail. Thieves can actually target key executives email addresses and read the content of your company emails.

Please don’t think that we using scare tactics! Just go to Google and enter “email sniffer software” or “email packet sniffer software” and you will be amazed at the software available that can intercept your messages.

This security hole is now plugged with Outlook Wizard, so “email sniffer” programs can no longer read your emails as our solution is an end to end solution.

The encryption is built right into Microsoft Outlook and automatically encrypts and decrypts the email body and all attachments between users of the Outlook Wizard. The encryption algorithm is so secure that it will comply with any Federal or State Privacy Regulations in your industry (e.g. GLBA, HIPAA, 201 CMR 17). It is important that you understand that Outlook Wizard uses: Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).

AES is a standard adopted by the U.S. Government as noted by Wikipedia: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard)

Because Outlook Wizard is the only Outlook encryption that also has a fully functional free version the amount of users are making this USA standard the most widely used international encryption system. This is very beneficial because with tens of millions of people being added this year alone and over 100 million anticipated by Dec 31st 2011; every time that you send and receive a message in or outside of your company the sender and receiver using Outlook Wizard Encryption does not have to hit the Decrypt button when receiving a fellow Outlook Wizard user’s encrypted email—its automatic encryption and automatic decryption!

At Outlook Wizard we like to say that our users are “On ICE”—- International Convenient Encryption (ICE).

Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) will shut you down in a heartbeat if you have more than “X number” of emails going out within an hour. It is a blanking pain in the ass to divide your bulk list and set a timer to wait till the next hour to send the next batch of emails out! We solved this problem by adding “leak out” capability to Outlook. Now you can tell Outlook to “Take A Leak” as you simply adjust the amount of emails that you want sent per hour to stay under your ISP’s limit.
