Microsoft Partner Network membership renewed – We are Gold Partners!

Published by Gniewko Oblicki on July 14, 2011 in CodeTwo. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , .

A few days ago we have informed you about the MSExchange.org’s Gold Award for CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro and yet we have another great news with the word “gold” in the heading to share. This time we are happy to announce that CodeTwo has just renewed its membership in the Microsoft Partner Network and has attained the Gold Independent Software Vendor (ISV) competency. This is the highest rank a company creating its own applications can receive among Microsoft Partners and there were several requirements which we had to meet in order to get it.

Microsoft Partner - Gold ISV competency

As a company developing solutions based on Microsoft platforms, we put our full effort into creating top-quality products that are highly reliable and functional for users. This vision stays in keeping with the general idea of Microsoft Partner Network, which gathers companies that are among the best experienced experts in their business areas. In order to receive a Gold ISV competency our software not only had to undergo several Microsoft platform compatibility tests, but also we had to gather a number of independent users references that confirmed the quality of our products. On this occasion we also launched a few Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) surveys that gave us a lot of useful information about how our work and services look from your perspective as a user. Thank you for all your comments and survey responses!

The fact of receiving the Gold ISV competency is also beneficial to those who buy our products. As Microsoft Partner we have access to the latest Microsoft technology and technical resources. This helps us create software that is fully compatible with Microsoft platforms and is based on highest technical standards. In the end that’s what you actually expect from us, isn’t it? :-)

CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro awardedWe have great news to share with you. Our flagship product, CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro, has just received the Gold Award from the acknowledged Microsoft Exchange resource portal – MSExchange.org. The program was reviewed by a world-class Exchange Server expert, J. Peter Bruzzese (Microsoft Most Valuable Professional) and received the top rating from him.

In his in-depth review, J. Peter Bruzzese examined the product in every detail and was impressed with its overall functionality and simplicity. According to him, CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro perfectly filled the need of improving the Exchange Server’s build-in email management mechanism and even added more control to the mix. He was also astonished at how easy-to-use an intuitive the program was. We also like  this part of his review, which refers to our on-line documentation and video tutorials:

This is one of the few products that I have ever reviewed where I didn’t need any support from a human.

We feel deeply honored with Peter’s words and  the rank we received from him. This shows clearly that the hard work we put in developing our software simply pays off.

The complete review of CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro can be found here. If you would like to find out more about the product itself, here’s the newest video overview of CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro:

How to boost your marketing campaigns using fancy CodeTwo’s e-mail labels collection

Published by Liwia Klich on June 29, 2011 in CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , , , , .

As all marketers know, eye-catching images are sometimes more than compelling words. Keeping this in mind, our Marketing team prepared something special for CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro users. Once you are in the Template Editor in HTML preview, click on the Picture icon on the ribbon, select From Image Library … and enjoy a brand new collection of various icons and labels that are designed to help you attract attention of your email recipients. Below I present how to open the Image Library:

The program’s library offers images that can be used for many purposes:
- as auto-replies, when, e.g., a staff member is away or to confirm that you have received a client’s message;

- to stress an important information enclosed to your e-mail, such as a legal disclaimer;

- to promote products and spread the word of the hot seasonal offers.

And the last point probably draws your attention the most, since such a simple image added to your email may visibly increase your sales or website traffic. People get hundreds of emails every day. If they open them, it is a half of success, but then they just quickly scan its content. A vibrant image can be most likely to attract their attention rather than just a plain text or big aggressive font, usually associated with a typical spam. Besides, a stylish graphic added to you e-mail looks more neat and professionally.

To illustrate this theory, look below to compare a standard advertising e-mail with the one prepared in CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro HTML editor, with a use of its reach library of images.
A plain commercial e-mail with text links:

An e-mail prepared in CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro with a clickable graphic:

Using the image library provided with CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro you can freely create beautiful email signatures with your contact details, logos and photos, as well as promotional banners, visual hyperlinks, greeting e-cards, random citations and professional autoresponders. See the new Image Library Manager below:

To make CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro even a more useful marketing tool, the program enables you to set time frames for each individual campaign. The function can be found in the Options Tab and it is called Rule Date Range. As you can see below, there are a few fields that you can complete according to your plan and then be sure that all promotional banners are sent in a right time

Since an e-mail is now one of the most popular means of business communication, the way you manage your correspondence gives a picture of your service quality. Do not let your company stay behind the technology wave. Equip yourself with a multi-functional program that has been created to let you administrate your e-mail in a professional way.

CodeTwo Outlook Attachment Reminder – new summer gift from CodeTwo

Published by Liwia Klich on June 21, 2011 in Freeware and Videos. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , , .

This time the news is especially good for all forgetful Outlook users. CodeTwo’s collection of free tools has just been expanded with another useful add-in – CodeTwo Outlook Attachment Reminder. As the name suggests, the program reminds you about adding attachments to your emails every time you seem to forget about them and click the Send button. It is the First Day of Summer and for this occasion we hope this new freeware will be a nice, practical surprise for all Outlook’s daily users. With this plugin installed, it will be hard to forget about attaching your holiday photos to emails.

How come Outlook ‘knows’ when I have forgotten to add attachment to my e-mail?

CodeTwo Outlook Attachment Reminder is a cutting-edge solution that receives signals transmitted by your subconsciousness and transforms them into binary language… No, no, nothing like that. :) Fortunately the application’s method is not that complex and can be fully controlled by you. The program scans your emails content and for certain phrases, e.g. ’see documents’, ’see enclosed’ recognizes the message as the one that should include an attachment. You can easily modify a list of keywords to suit your needs. Look, it is all nicely explained in this video:

Save your time and embarrassment

Forgetting about adding attachments is a common accident, yet not something to ignore, as it can get troublesome. Sometimes we have to send an important report to our boss, products’ offer to our clients, CV to a dream job’s offer, an essay to our teacher, or other important documents. Once we discover that the message we have sent is actually empty, we look unprofessionally or miss the deadline. It is worth being proactive and equip Outlook with a user-friendly attachment reminder that is totally free and can be downloaded from our website any time. Enjoy!

The quickest way to make professional email signatures for all employees

Published by Liwia Klich on June 14, 2011 in CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro. 1 Comment Tags: , , , , , , , .

Over 100 professional email signatures, banners, labels and disclaimer images have been made accessible for free in a built-in library of CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro. What does it mean? It means simply that making beautiful and modern branding of your corporate electronic correspondence is now a matter of a few clicks and can be real fun!

Once you have created your rule in the administration panel of CodeTwo’s program, there are only 3 steps to make a professional email signature that can be automatically attached to all messages sent from your company’s mailboxes. In addition, it can contain names, contact details and even individual photos of each employee pulled from Active Directory.

Step 1: Find a proper action

Go to the Actions tab, click Add in the List of Actions and choose Insert disclaimer/signature. On the right hand side you can see two buttons: Options (a quick, handy function to define a position of your disclaimer – top, bottom, left or right) and the Edit template… . Click on the Edit template… button to open the Template Editor.

Step 2: Check-out the new library full of ideas

The Template Editor that facilitates CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro has everything you need: it simple to use, rich in functions and contains an impressive library of fancy visual propositions prepared for your own use to help you establish your new, stylish e-mail branding. So even if you have to make everything from scratch and your mind goes blank as you do not know what to start with, a whole palette of lovely inspirations is already there. Simply click on the Library tab and go quickly through the list of various designs to select the one that best suits your needs (see some of the examples below).

Step 3: Use Template Editor to make your magic!

Ok, you have chosen something that looks pretty cool, but there are still no names of your company, employees’ phone numbers, e-mail addresses etc. Do not worry. Each of signatures contains Dynamic Fields that pull data, such as names, contact details and even photos from your Active Directory. They are marked with brackets: { } and can be easily edited in HTML, RTF or Plain Text preview. See below:

And that is it! The program will automatically add a customized signature to all e-mails sent by your company members specified in the Conditions tab. In the latest 1.2. version,  you can not only pull contact details kept in Active Directory to your signatures, but even add senders’ photographs.

If want to know more about creating and modifying your email signatures, there is an extensive knowledge base available on CodeTwo’s website, in user’s manual and other blog posts.

New version of CodeTwo Attach Unblocker released!

Published by Liwia Klich on June 9, 2011 in Freeware. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , .

If you are a Microsoft Outlook user you probably know a common problem with blocked attachments that you can neither open, nor save to your hdd.. The most common files of this type are: .exe, .bat, .asp, .url, gadget., .js, .reg etc. Outlook blocks these files automatically due to the security reasons and Microsoft’s strategy aiming to protect Outlook users from virus attacks. Nevertheless, this method is not always convenient and pretty often becomes unacceptable for some people. Unblocking disabled attachments is not an easy thing to do. There are numerous questions in this matter regularly posted by irritated users on social forums and IT blogs. So to save your time spent on digging in manuals and in advanced settings of the program, CodeTwo has created a quick and friendly application that immediately brings you back a control of all attachments coming to your inbox. The tool is called CodeTwo Attach Unblocker and is totally free of charge. The program has been successfully serving Outlook users for the last four years. Now we are happy to show you this handy add-on once again, as it has been improved.

What is new in CodeTwo Attach Unblocker 1.2.4?

Apart from a completely new, ‘refreshed’ user interface, the program is now independent from Outlook and can be launched and running even when Outlook is offline. The installation file automatically checks bit version of your Microsoft Outlook and installs a proper version. We have also eliminated a problem with Windows 2000 installation error.

To define the attachments types that you wish not to be blocked by Outlook anymore, you just need to create your own list by entering file extensions in a proper field (see a picture below). After restarting Outlook all attachments from your list will no longer be blocked and you will be able to open, save or forward them.
