A great partner...ClearContext

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting up with Brad and Deva of ClearContext. Somehow or other my install of ClearContext on my ThinkPad had gotten corrupted, and in dealing with the Tsunami of E-Mail that I get, I was desperately looking to get ClearContext running again.

Brad quickly figured out what was wrong, ran a little fix-it utility, and then showed me how to easily defer E-Mail using ClearContext. I used what he showed me for about an hour, and then realized that scripting it would be even better. So, this morning I pinged Brad and he sent me some great little scripts I have set them out below.

From the Inbox, this will Defer the current message for 2 days:

 <ALT>xf</ALT><Pause><TAB:2>2<ENTER>

 Change the last “2” to change the number of days.

 Alternatively, this will simply bring up the defer dialog and leave you ready to adjust the time:

 <ALT>xf</ALT><TAB:2>

 And this one will defer for one day:

 <ALT>xf</ALT><ENTER>

Finding companies like ours with great people working hard to solve real problems is such a pleasure. Whenever I demo ActiveWords, I always show off the cool stuff and the cool companies we work with.

Anyone using Outlook for E-Mail should be using ClearContext, great product, and great guys behind it!
