I’m quite intrigued by Everdesk, and it seems to provide the “single access point to all content related to a project” solution that I prefer for organizing my work. I noted the support for POP3 and IMAP4. But for those of us clogged up in a corporate Outlook environment (no POP3 or IMAP enabled on Exchange servers), are there any plans to add support for MAPI to Everdesk?
I would love to use Everdesk if MAPI support ever came along…..

Hello!
Well, this is something we were seriously considering some time ago, but due to other priorities from our very long “wish list” and anticipated problems in penetrating Outlook-dominated corporate market, where MS Exchange is used most, we decided to remove MAPI feature from our immediate plans. However, this is something we always wanted to have as in our opinion EverDesk with Exchange support would be great tool for corporate users and for business community in general. Probably we should re-visit this idea again.
Anyway, thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts - we always highly appreciate comments and suggestions regarding EverDesk. :)

VS

Update: I’ve been trying out EverDesk (originally Optima, now settling on Mail). I like the core concept and will be registering the program. It represents the most convenient way to back up my e-mail and be able to access it wherever I can carry my portable hard disk—I’m actually considering using an SD memory card which I can take anywhere. ED also makes it very easy for most info managers that I use to link to mail messages directly.
Another advantage is ED’s ability to import mail from many other programs, including Eudora, Calypso and The Bat! All in all, a lot of development time seems to have gone into the program to satisfy differing requirements.
Caveat: as always, applications that try to cover different needs may not be as capable on all respective fronts; e-mail power users will probably find that ED’s mailing capabilities require additional development. For example, the ability to control mail on the server side is missing, i.e. leaving mail on server (which I often do as backup) provides no option to delete it later on. Also, rules seem to apply to all mail received rather than specific accounts.
That said, I think there’s future in the program. EverEZ Systems seem to have taken a moderately ambitious development path, potentially offering a powerful option for SMEs. Vladimir has been kind enough to provide support through Skype on Sunday evening, and has made quite clear that they are open to outside opinion and suggestions.

Agree. We currently miss the functionality to delete old mail, which was initially left on the server. This will be added along with the addition of full IMAP support.

Do not quite understand what you mean. You may add different conditions to a new sorting rule. One of such conditions may be selection of the account to which the rule will be applied.
