Friendlier Claris It!
Friendlier Claris it! is a simple (and reassuringly cheap) utility for automatically sorting email received and sent using Entourage, Microsoft's Personal Information Manager and email program that comes as part of Office X and Office 2004 for Mac OS X. It intelligently determines the sender or the recipient(s) of the message and can then
- Create folders in Entourage for the mail messages based on user preferences
Friendlier Claris It! takes advantage of Entourage features such as nicknames, categories and groups to do this and offers a large number of options for configuration. - Automatically save files attached to messages in a central location or in sub-folders
Friendlier Claris It! adds links at the top of the emails to the files which it has removed, that will automatically open the attachments. You can have Friendlier Claris It! delete the files from the messages, saving you space in your email database. And unlike Entourage X, Friendlier Claris It! will keep long filenames intact and is file extension-aware. - Manage Spam
You can designate email senders and whole domains as senders of junk emails so that any future mail from them is automatically deleted.
System requirements
- Mac OS X 10.1 or later (10.3 recommended)
- Entourage X/2004

Registration
Friendlier Claris It! is provided as $8 guiltware. That is, it is free for personal use, but if you feel guilty about using it, after all the hours I've spent writing it and testing it, responding to requests from users, adding new features, etc., then please take the time to register it via Paypal for a one-off charge of $8 by clicking on the button below. I promise never to whinge at you if you have a problem and will be eternally grateful to you. And besides, think of the children.
As if that weren't enough, registered users will be sent a bonus application that will rewrite links of selected messages if you moved the attachments.
