subject: ORGANIZE YOUR LIFE [print this page] Some years ago I set myself to the gruesome task of finding a user friendly organizer for my personal computer and let me tell you it was no easy task.
As always, I started to download install and try everything I could get my hands on and then, after trial and error most of them ended in my trash can.
I'm a user of Microsoft Outlook which is a superb product, but I wanted something not as elaborated and that I could use as a standalone program which in the event Outlook got corrupted by any unwilling cause I would have my appointments on hand.
Simplicity,ease of use and no nonsense software is not easy to get by,so I consider myself fortunate to have found this gem.
After some time and trial and error I decided to try "WinPim" from YQSoft Inc. which in extended terms would be Windows Personal Information Manager and my first impression was utter delight, as I found the program easy to use and with a delightful colorful interphase plus full of features
.
Like all organizers, the basic characteristics were there, that is:
View calendars with multiple options.
Make an appointment.
Establish reminders.
Configure contacts.
Configure groups within contacts.
Outgoing dialer and fax.
Send E Mails to a given contact.
Drag and drop capability.
Exceptional support.
Language packs for non-English speaking customers.
WinPim has slowly but steadily grown throughout the years from a very good personal organizer to an outstanding solid platform.
Having evolved dynamically and always on the vanguard, recently it launched Win Pim 2010 with new additions to its environment giving the final product unprecedented functionality.
Among these let me highlight the following:
Storage more than 60 fields and 20 customizable fields.
Create Tree Group to manage contacts, and can Map contacts.
Fast Dial Phones, Send mails, fax, visit web pages.
Remind Birthday and anniversaries.
Support multi-print formats, support envelops and mail merge
Trace contact's all actions, support Caller ID
Support Multi-Accounts emails
Support POP3, STMP mail server, support SSL. * Support IMAP mail server
Support IMAP sync and mailbox management.
Support Spell Check and Emotions.
Anti-Spam system.
Even though the product as it sells is very appealing, the company has added even more features by the availability of additional plug-ins by which you can synchronize the program with Outlook, Google, Windows mobile devices, I Phone and Palm.
These new features applied to today's technology are of unprecedented usefulness as many of the services we use on a daily basis like Google,Outlook, instant short messaging are now tied closely to our tasks and we take them for granted.
Another huge recent technology breakthrough has been the use of "smart phones", which really if you take a close look are mini computers. So being able to synchronize a standalone personal information manager like WinPim with you hand held "smart phones" is a huge plus.
Bottom of the line, you can't expect more or even wish for more--- it's all there now and very affordable.
