Chaos Intellect: Business email client and contact manager
Our newest addition to our product line has been a big hit since its
release and is ready for Vista! Read on to see what the buzz is about or
read Chaos Intellect email client testimonials from actual users.
Why choose to use Chaos Intellect instead of better known email client
software competitors?
1) It is not just an email client, but a full contact management system!
We have an award winning contact manager called Time & Chaos, sold since
1991, and have taken all the features from it and added it to Chaos
Intellect. This includes Appointment calendars, Task lists, Memos, and full
network sharing capabilities.
2) It has automatically linked email for your contacts
Our Time & Chaos contact manager made sure appointments and tasks were
linked back to contacts to give you a record of what had happened in your
relationship with them.
Intellect takes it one step further by indexing all of the incoming and
outgoing messages and automatically linking them to contacts with recognized
email addresses.
In the inbox, messages from people you know are immediately apparent, as
they have a special business card icon on your message list.
On any contact, if you bring up their details and go to Linked Mail Items,
you can quickly see any emails they sent you or you sent them!
3) It has powerful spam-fighting tools
Mail filters, Bayesian learning filters and a special SmartFilter designed
to catch the "cheaters" who send spam specifically designed to beat normal
filters. All of these mail rules are available to help get the junk out of
your inbox!
The people in your contacts, however, are protected and "white-listed" so
any messages from them will go straight to your inbox instead of getting
filtered out by mistake.
4) It has special email features for Business users, including email merges
With the powerful contact database we have, the people you email often can
be placed into groups and categories, which can function as the various
mailing lists you use. With categories, one contact can be on as many
different specialized lists as you would choose to create.
When you send to a group of contacts, you aren't forced to use the Blind
Copy field to keep email addresses private. You can also choose to use our
mail merge features instead, similar to the merge features with Microsoft
Word for paper letters. Insert some fields into your email, select the
recipients, and Intellect will create an individual, personalized message
for each person you are sending the message to, addressed directly to them,
and looking like a one-to-one message directly from you.
5) Your data, including email messages, can be shared or synchronized
Intellect is network ready, so you can share databases or mailboxes with
other users on your network. You can even pick and choose which databases
you want to share, if you want to keep some of the databases personal for
you.
Intellect also has an option to "Sync with removable media" to take a copy
of your data and email with you or to merge your changes back when you
return. No longer will you have to be at a particular machine to read and
answer your email!
