Christmas holidays are just around the corner. The world is slowing down, my wife's spinning the 1940s Christmas hits from YouTube, and my neighbor is making a lot of noise with his brand new snowplow. And yes.. Home Alone is on TV again. At CodeTwo we're going against the tide, as usually. I'm not talking about the secure cloudless Outlook sharing platform we released a few weeks ago - I'm talking about all those coding binges. The folks from the dev department are coding as if the end of the world was close and they could stop it somehow. They can, OK? You'll see. Fast on the heels of releasing CodeTwo Public Folders 5, we've rolled out CodeTwo Email Signatures and immediately made headlines on German IT portals. The product lets users add global, company-wide email signatures to emails sent from Office 365, OWA and Outlook. The application is still young and we're constantly developing it. In Q1 2013 it's going to see a major update as we're adding support for Google Apps signatures, and a host of other improvements. But that's not all. There are other products in the works at the moment. Some of them are now being tested in the lab, others are still prototypes, and one ground-breaking app is even on my phone now. Let me take a look at it once again. Aaaah I can see a calendar, contacts... OK I was supposed not to tell anyone yet. You can expect to see a number of exciting products - not only for Exchange 2010 and 2013 but also for Office 365 and other platforms. We're also developing existing applications to make sure they meet all your requirements. And now a sneak peek at our whiteboard. It's not Battleships! Stay tuned and check back with me later. If you have any questions, feel free to post them here as comments - I'm happy to answer all of them.

Terms: update, upgrade and migration are frequently mixed up by computer users. Some  even believe upgrade and update are the same thing, whereas migration has something to do with animals or people moving from one place to the other. Nothing is more erroneous than this belief as far as IT is concerned. Update means reinstalling a new version of the same program, provided that there is no point difference in the the version numbers. In other words, it might be installing CodeTwo Exchange Rules 2007 2 .1 on top of CodeTwo Exchange Rules 2.0. Upgrade means reinstalling a new version of the program with different point numbers. In other words, it might be installing CodeTwo Exchange Rules 2007 2.0 on top of CodeTwo Exchange Rules 2007 1.0. Upgrades are usually payable, but the price is lower than the one you pay for buying the product. Migration means moving from one product to the other one. It can be moving from CodeTwo Exchange Rules 2007 2.0 to CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro 1.0. Migrations are also payable and the price of the migration is almost always lower than the cost of the standalone product.

It's been roughly 4 months since we released our previous program and we're ready to present a totally new stuff! Ladies and Gentelmen - please welcome CodeTwo Outlook Sync! It has been designed to live up to requirements of thousands of users worldwide who need a simple, logical and ridiculously easy-to-use sharing tool for Microsoft Outlook. The program will let you sync Outlook between two computers with a few clicks. And.. yes! It's also available in a free version.

UPDATE: We are sorry, but CodeTwo Out of Office Manager mentioned in this article has been discontinued. If you are looking for an alternative for Exchange Server, take a look at the auto respond feature in CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro. It's essential to keep your customers, business partners and employees abreast of the important stuff. If you're away due to illness, conference or a business trip with no access to your business email, it goes without saying that you should enable email automatic replies, which will notify all senders that you won't get back to them as quickly as usually, and suggest an alternative contact person. Creating auto-replies just for yourself on Exchange Server or Office 365 is pretty easy, but if you are an HR manager, receptionist or team leader, and you want to create such replies for a colleague or for multiple employees, there is no such option. Well, you could log in to each and every mailbox and set auto-replies manually, but that's a never-ending job and a security breach as you can see people's email. Today we stand an exciting moment together, as we have given a full unveiling to a new tool. CodeTwo Out of Office Manager makes it possible to centally manage Office 365 or Exchange Out of Office messages for many users. What's more, the product is extremely easy to use and the installation process takes literally 60 seconds. Make sure your HR team or the management is equipped with the program. The program has been designed with non-technical employees in mind to take the burden of setting group auto-replies from administrators' shoulders. When you open the program for the first time, you are greeted with the connection dialog box. Just use credentials of a user who has Organization Management rights and you're ready to go. The employees who will be using the program don't need those rights and they are also not able to use the entered credentials for any other actions whatsoever. The main window will launch once you connect to your server. In addition to being able to easily manage auto-reply items, you'll also get the general overview of all absences in you company, both upcoming and past. It helps you stay better organized and can serve as an absence monitor, planning aid, you name it. Scheduling multiple Out of Office items for weeks and months to come is also possible with CodeTwo Out of Office Manager. In other words, if someone is off every Thursday or if you know they will be out of office more than once, you can plan it in advance and be sure the program will activate and deactivate Out of Office items automatically. Fine-tune your automatic email replies with a built in editor. It's really easy to design whatever you want even if you have no experience in HTML. Using the editor view, you don't have to code anything to add tables, links and even Active Directory placeholders. Use smart email templates that can be used for hundreds or thousands of personalized automatic replies. Active Directory attributes used in one template will change into user data when a template is submitted to Exchange or Office 365 user's settings. It's just one minute to be up and running! I mean it. Install the program in a domain environemnt on any machine if you want to connect to Exchange global Out of Office settings. If you're an Office 365 user, you can use any computer to do it. What is more, the application works on Exchange 2010, 2013 and all Office 365 plans. Download CodeTwo Out

Selecting alternatives and making decisions based on them is not easy. The most difficult part is the research you have to do before you make up your mind. It would be great if someone else made all research for you and your part would just boil down to read a comparison, count pros and cons, and then just to make a simple mathematical equation. If you ever needed to compare free Google Sync Apps with CodeTwo Public Folders, take a look at this comparison. CodeTwo Public Folders is a team management software both for companies and home offices. It synchronizes all Outlook items in real time, between many computers. Moreover, it protects your data from loss or an unauthorized access as it keeps all shared files in your own network. Google Sync and Google Calendar Sync are great and freeware solutions but are considered by some users as unsafe and unprofessional.
