Well you have come to the right place with your question, as I’m confidant that if an application with the characteristics you describe existed, somebody on this list would know of it. I am even tempted to go further and say that if such an application existed, each of us would probably know of it.

Which is to say, unfortunately, that no such application exists.As you point out, Zoot has everything except the ability to handle large Word documents; (on this I take your word, as I am not a Zoot user; after all it isn’t really an outliner, which might take it out of contention on that ground, unless you have very liberal criteria for outliners. Ultra Recall does everything except shoot; and I might add, ADM 3 probably does most everything, except it doesn’t index.

I would add that you might consider Idea! (http://sycon.de) It indexes and even integrates with the Windows index system; has excellent importing, particularly from email; and has an effective even though unconventional outliner. Since you mention e-mail specifically, my guess is that Idea! would come closest to what you want, even though it doesn’t fully satisfy your criteria. Because it is unconventional, it has a bit of a learning curve. Technical support is excellent.
