rank your email contacts. Using this and other information about
your email patterns, IMS will prioritize your inbox.
The setup process normally only takes a few minutes, but will take longer for large email files and inboxes.

Use the Task and
Schedule buttons to create a task and appointment
linked to your email message.

Open the IMS RelatedView on a message via the "+" in the body of an Outlook 2007 message or the RelatedView button in Outlook 2003 and earlier. Here you’ll see a list of other email messages in the conversation thread and related tasks and appointments you have created.
Open the Dashboard. The initial screen will show pending tasks and appointments, as well as flagged messages in the inbox. Select a Topic you used earlier via the dropdown or Topic button in the Dashboard. Now, all messages, tasks and appointments with that Topic will be displayed in a consolidated project view.
Alerts, Do Not Disturb, Unsubscribe, Follow-Up, Delegate and AutoAssign are just a few of the other features within ClearContext that can be accessed in the Inbox from the ClearContext menu for a more complete evaluation of the product.
