New email client employs intelligent tools to make processing email easier.</p>
<p>Santa Rosa, CA. - March 31, 2008 - Outspring Incorporated, makers of the<br />
QuickMail line of email products, today announced Outspring Mail. The<br />
product is an email client for Macintosh that employs unique tools and<br />
algorithms that the company claims will make processing email far easier<br />
than existing products.</p>
<p>Utilizing an interface design similar to Apple Mail, Outspring Mail<br />
includes most of the tools and protocol support a user would expect in a<br />
modern email program: POP, IMAP, SMTP and SSL. But according to Outspring,<br />
the truly unique aspects of the program lie in the patent-pending features<br />
that help automate email processing.</p>
<p>"I receive dozens of of emails every day.", says Outspring CEO, Jeff<br />
Baudin. "This is beyond all the spam...these are real messages that I have<br />
to read and which require a response or should be properly filed. I've<br />
always wanted a way to make this chore far easier." Baudin claims it took<br />
his company three years to create his "dream email program." He added, "We<br />
see Outspring Mail as the trailblazer for a new category of software.<br />
Software that observes and notes the user's habits and preferences and<br />
takes action based on those observations. If I frequently reply to an email<br />
message that says, "How do I get to your office?" or words to that effect;<br />
shouldn't my email program be smart enough to know I've replied to this<br />
same type of message before? And shouldn't it then offer to use one of<br />
these replies for the current message?"</p>
<p>The program also offers a similar technique for filing messages. Once the<br />
program has gone through a short learning process of observing the user's<br />
filing habits and cross-referencing message content, it will begin to<br />
suggest appropriate folders or mailboxes to file messages. Instead of<br />
dragging messages to folder icons, the user is presented with one or more<br />
likely destination buttons.</p>
<p>Another unique feature of Outspring Mail is a function called Message<br />
Deferment. Baudin compares this feature to the "snooze" button on an alarm<br />
clock. "Most people will receive a message, read it, make a mental note to<br />
handle it later and then leave it in their Inbox. After a few weeks or<br />
months, their Inbox becomes an unmanageable mess. But what if you could<br />
instead read the message, decide you don't want to deal with it this week<br />
and send it "away" for a week?" The deferment feature then moves the<br />
message to a special folder and the program waits for the selected amount<br />
of time. When that time period has elapsed, Outspring Mail then moves the<br />
message back into the Inbox with an indicator reminding the user that the<br />
message is a deferred message that has been returned.</p>
<p>Outspring Mail also contains an advanced spam filter that can eliminate 98%<br />
of a user's incoming junk mail, according to the company. Having developed<br />
a server-side spam blocker for a number of years, Outspring has leveraged<br />
this experience into the spam filter which is included with the product.</p>
<p>The product also contains a unique "Intelligent Summary" view. By using<br />
advanced summarizing algorithms, this feature allows the user to quickly<br />
review email by a list of the summarized content, negating the need to open<br />
each message to see the heart of the content.</p>
<p>Another useful feature of the product is data detection on incoming<br />
messages that links to Macintosh built in calendar, iCal. If the user<br />
receives a message that contains a phrase like, "Let's meet for lunch next<br />
Friday...", Outspring Mail will convert the phrase "next Friday" into a hot<br />
link. Clicking that link will take the user to the iCal entry for the<br />
following Friday (based on the send date of the message). This feature<br />
works with literal dates like 1/15/09, May 15, 2008 and also with relative<br />
dates like "next Friday", "last Tuesday", etc.</p>
<p>If the user has an existing Apple Mail or QuickMail installation, they can<br />
import all of their existing email data into Outspring Mail. The import<br />
assistant allows them to select which accounts they wish to import into<br />
Outspring Mail while leaving the database of the prior program intact.<br />
Import works with both POP and IMAP accounts.</p>
