Feature Benefit How it works
NEO Free
Single message store

Simple data management - perfect for those wanting a single data file (message store) organized.

Choose an Exchange Mailbox or a Personal Folder.

Works seamlessly with Outlook

Continue to use all the flexibility of Outlook while taking advantage of NEO email productivity features.

Can switch easily between NEO and Outlook. Most email features available within NEO.

Virtual folders

Messages are much easier to find because they are displayed in more locations.

Our shortcut technology allows a message to appear in more than one location without copying.

Quick File

Two quick ways to file reduce the time and hassles of managing Outlook folders.

Quick File is a single-click way to move a message out of your Inbox. Quick File Recent is a single-key way to display your recently filed-to folder for quick folder selection.

NEO Power Search

All your messages are instantly accessible. Save time and headaches by searching up to 100 times faster than Outlook.

Every word in every single message is fully indexed on-the-fly.

Bulk Mail

Reduce clutter by moving lower priority email to the background.

NEO automatically re-directs your e-newsletters, discussion lists, etc. into individual or grouped bulk mail folders.

Caller ID for email

See who new messages are from without going to NEO - fewer unnecessary interruptions.

A balloon announcing new mail appears in the system tray. Customizable -- you decide type of messages for notification.

Folder groups

Makes dealing with multiple people from a single organization easier.

Create group folders for easier organization.

Automatic folder organization

Folders you use often are auto-managed into New, Current and Dormant top-level folders so you don't have to spend time doing it manually.

For example, you could specify that any folders in Current, that have not been actively used for 1 year, be automatically moved by NEO into the Dormant area. Or move them manually.

Block Spam Senders

Can deal with spam senders once instead of each time they send Spam.

With the click of a button, all future email from the sender's address is directed to a restricted 'Spam Senders' folder that you can browse or empty.

Messages stored once - in Outlook

Your Outlook message store, folders and messages remain safely intact.

NEO does not take copies of messages -- it only creates indexes to them.

User-defined Outlook folders

Continue to create Outlook folders and use Outlook rules. You can still organize by folders that you create. No loss of your Outlook folder organization.

The Outlook view shows all your Outlook folders. You can copy messages to these folders and create new folders just as you can in Outlook.
