Does anyone know if Everdesk is still being developed?

Thanks.

I use Everdesk Optima everyday, as my central workspace. Now and then I receive a link to download beta versions. So, although it is not as fast as I desired, it seems that development is alive.

FYI, EverDesk http://www.everdesk.com/ has now a new product out, replacing Mail and Optima. The new product is significantly revamped and includes a version which works with Google services, including mail, calendar and documents.

EverDesk Google Edition will be featured on Bitsdujour soon:

Yes, I had very high hopes of Everdesk, after playing with it some years ago. I've had a really good bashing of the tyres of the latest version, and while the concept is still impressive, I'm not over-impressed by the execution. I was rather hoping to use it in conjunction with Soonr.com (kind of corporate Dropbox equivalent) to create a truly amazing collaborative environment (using shared folders for mail AND documents - a bloody obvious idea that nobody except Everdesk seems to want to take seriously; after all, e-mails are just another kind of file). But it's just a little bit too quirky - and in my view, the interface has also taken a step backwards to being too fiddly. So never mind.

For the collaboratively inclined (Alexander), you might want to take a close look at a very successful recent German startup, SquadMail, which allows you to share any folders from existing IMAP accounts with anybody you like - multiple accounts, multiple folders. It takes a bit of thought to get your head round it, but it amounts to a kind of Dropbox for e-mail. Now that is clever!

Thanks for the heads up on Squadmail; looks very useful.

Hi, just to mention that you can do this in Ultra Recall very easily.

1) In explorer, Drag and drop main folder of interest into a node. All subfolders, files, etc. are preserved.
2) Drag and drop Outlook folder into a node. Alternatively, you can export mail to a folder regularly and drag that to UR (I use MessageExport).

The nodes in UR need to be synced manually, though. Set up a saved search, and from it hit Ctrl-F5. I do it about once per day.

UR has a good file explorer capability, and email has a form built in. I setup an email folder type so that child items show up with Title, From, Date, etc. It's perfect.

Best, /Pavi

If I understand correctly what Squadmail does, it represents a different service: it enables to share a (server side) IMAP folder, which means that everyone has access to an up-to-date copy of that folder at any time. By contrast, UltraRecall copies a 'snapshot' of the available messages at a certain point.

So, if emails were regular files, sharing via Squadmail is equivalent to Dropbox, whereas sharing via UltraRecall is equivalent to a USB stick.

Is my interpretation (of both approaches) correct, or have I missed something?
