Go get this - Swiftfile
This little jewel has been one of my favorite tools since it came out - and I can't remember what release it was. Swiftfile is shipped on the CDs for the Notes client. However, almost nobody I know gets the CDs, and its been a little hard to find - until now. Two new technotes tell you all about it, and even give you a link to an ftp site to grab it. No registration, no strings attached, just grab it. Do it now.
Download Link - links to ftp site
Information Link - has instruction, release notes, everything - but its simple.
If you've never tried it, you need to. You may hate it, you may love it. If you hate it, simply remove or disable it. What it does is this: If you have folders in your mail file (and I know some people don't) it will analyze the contents of all of the folders, then it will present a list of 3 folders that it thinks you may use to file that document. The list is at the top of each document, and you can select one of them, or if it guesses wrong, you can use the regular buttons to file it.
Now I know what you're thinking - but you're probably wrong. It doesn't use email address only, it doesn't use subject only, it's not a full-text index. It uses some combination of everything in a magical, mysterious AI function to guess - and most of the time, its on target. The program is small, the index is small, its easy to use and its free to add on to Notes.
Any of you who know me knows that 'organized' is not a word that is used to describe me unless there's a 'dis' in front of it. This little toy actually let me clear my inbox out once during a cross-country flight. I use it all the time.
Just try it - let me know how ya like it.
