What's new in NEO Pro 4.0 - Beta 1

All updates and changes are only applicable to NEO Pro - for NEO Free the current version remains 3.1.

New Features

• Support for IMAP message stores

  NEO Pro 4.0 introduces support for IMAP message stores. To organize an IMAP message store within NEO Pro, create your IMAP email account within Outlook according instructions from the IMAP provider. It is advised to create a new catalog containing the IMAP message store. However, you can combine your IMAP message store with other (PST) message stores available in Outlook. In this case, sent items from the IMAP account can show double in your NEO Pro organization as Outlook is  keeping (by default) also a copy of the sent items in its Sent Items folder. As a general rule, the "All Items" folder of your IMAP account needs to be excluded from the NEO Pro catalog to avoid duplicates. Settings for the IMAP folders "Sent Items" and "All Items" can be defined in the New Catalog Wizard. When adding an IMAP message store to an existing catalog, new tabs for settings of IMAP folders will be available - after this a rebuild of the Catalog is needed to ensure proper organization and classification of the IMAP content.

• Improved preview pane header information

  Additional information is now available in the header of the preview pane: name and email address of sender, date/time information, name of attachment(s) (if any).

• Saving multiple attachments

  When multiple attachments are received, it is now possible to save them all at once.

• New flexible date filter

  A new date filter on the filter toolbar allowing to specify a From... To... date range. A reset of the filter toolbar is needed to enable this feature (right-click NEO Pro's toolbar, select customize, select the filter toolbar and click Reset).

• Evaluation period extended to 60 days

Starting NEO Pro 4.0 the standard evaluation period is now 60 days.

• New registry location for NEO Pro 4.0

Version 4 will use different registry locations leaving v3 settings unchanged. Version 3 settings will be starting point when switching to NEO Pro 4.0. Switching back to v3 will enable the original v3 settings again.

Minor Improvements

• Search option "Match Similar Words" now sticky

  When pressing the "Clear" button in the Search window, the option for "Match Similar Words" will not be reset anymore but remains as is.

• Show Name in Column settings 

  For Correspondent folders the default for "Show Name in Column" setting is "Folder Name". The default for Bulk mail folders is "Original Name from Message".

• Improved Bulk mail assignment algorithm

  Under specific conditions the Bulk/Correspondent assignment was not completely correct. This has been improved.

• Option to disable the preview pane for excluded folders

  As a security measure it is now possible to disable the preview pane for excluded (Spam) folders.

Issues Addressed

• Importing existing Catalog

  When importing an existing Catalog (through File | Catalog | Open | Browse...), the original name from the catalog was not maintained. This has been corrected.

• Error "Cannot open Clipboard" when selecting text in the preview pane

  This problem has now been fixed.

• For some Exchange users the outbox within NEO Pro did not synchronize properly 

  This problem has now been fixed.

• Slow behavior when moving quickly through NEO Pro's message listing
  

  This problem has now been fixed

• Delay when entering text in search window of Correspondent view

  This problem has now been fixed.

• Outlook 2007 performance

  Some changes have been made to improve performance under Outlook 2007.

Known Issues

• Synchronization error during initial IMAP catalog creation

  An error may occur during first synchronization after creating an IMAP catalog. This is caused by Outlook updating its IMAP folders in this same timeframe. This can be corrected by starting another synchronization from the toolbar immediately after the catalog has been created.
