Silly me - what a complicated process. After sending the URL from my PC to my iPad using myPhoneDesktop, I simply copy the URL to the iPad's clipboard, which is where NoteSuite is picking it up from i...
Well, I'm playing with NoteSuite in earnest now, and I can say that its web page import function is faultless! I'm currently doing a lot of research into various things on my PC (not Mac, unfortunatel...

Of course if you were using a Mac you could use Numbers, which is a truly brilliant whiteboard app (yes, I know it's supposed to be a spreadsheet, but I can honestly say I've never yet used it for cal...
Blimey, I've been impressed by the smart functions so far. The way you can create actual folders that also have a virtual 'smart' component (i.e. show documents that match certain keywords, regardless...
Yes, at the moment the iOS app is available for just £1.49 from iTunes; I'm not sure what the Mac App price is, because I don't have a Mac (I confess I'm wavering...).
So deffo a bargain! I've ...
Wow! This is so exciting, darlings! ProjectBook has arrived in Europe at last - and has turned into a very smooth-running Mac/iOS app rechristened NoteSuite.
What a great combo of goodies: outlining ...
Ah, yes, I've no idea why they make no mention of this potent feature nowadays. The best way to experiment with it is to type a line on a OneNote page (as you know, you can type anywhere on the page, ...
Based on your list of functions, you might want to take a look at the rather eccentric but interesting Planz, a kind of file system overlay in the form of an outliner:

Have to say, I'm a little surprised by Dr. Andus/Steve's dismissal of OneNote as a serious outliner - this does suggest you haven't played with - or perhaps have forgotten - the powerful outlining fea...

If you use IMAP, MailStore will precisely duplicate your IMAP folder setup on the server. We only use IMAP accounts, and all the folders are precisely mapped on the MailStore system. So what you've go...

Oh, and in case I didn't mention before: MailStore Home (despite its sophistication) is free.
Very best wishes,

Okay, in that case the answer is simple: MailStore Home, available from:
http://www.mailstore.com/en/mailstore-home.aspx
This will allow you to download mail from all your accounts, including those ...

Hi Ken - yes, you're right, mail seems to have become very complicated over the last few years.
But actually, the basic concepts are very simple. They boil down to:
- do you want to store and manage...

Outlook differs from most other mail clients there. The most convenient/universal format is .eml, supported by most mail clients and readable by a wide range of document viewers, which treats each e-m...
I have to confess I ignore the CSV files on Android - I suppose I could use one of my office apps (SoftMaker, QuickOffice) to open them, but on a phone? Why bother. I can still play with the Markdown ...

We're in a similar position. We've used Outlook before, but the entire company loathed it, so we moved to other systems for a while (first FirstClass, which was quite cool until OpenText managed to de...

My working life has just been thrown into turmoil!
Having settled happily on eM Client as my Outlook equivalent (I loathe Outlook), albeit after flirting briefly with the latest EssentialPIM and its ...
And yes, I do regularly try to simplify, but you know what? I'm fascinated by the whole UX thing. So I collect PIMs, outliners and other data management apps just to admire (or not, of course) the way...
Another nice feature - again, recently incorporated - is the ability to link to notes in a wiki-like way (also from spreadsheets), plus support for images. Actually that's two nice features.
Really a...
Yea, verily, thou speakest sooth! Which is why I've been experimenting with a really rather neat little outliner/notetaker that has been mentioned in these hallowed pages before, but has developed qui...
New Ipad, what apps to put on it?

It's amazing what pops up on the iOS scene, even in the way of Productivity apps (as opposed to tedious games and other such rubbish we CRIMPers disdain... hem!).
My current fave is UX Write, a word ...
Google Reader

Having recently consulted that stalwart standby, alternativeto.net, I discovered that in fact there are loads of alternatives to Google Reader out there. Some of them are really rather good! My fave a...
Time to mention a to-do outliner...

Actually, I've just realised you can hoist anything up to any level by 'focusing' on it (there's a little eye-shaped icon on all items). So you can have unlimited levels of sub-sub-tasks and hoisting....
Time to mention a to-do outliner...
3/26/2013
Well, there are some really nice features:
a) it can hoist stuff (only one level, but that's plenty for to-do lists)
b) it can format stuff (you can embolden or italicise entries, or change their colo...
