In addition to its claims of faster search, WordPerfect Mail features familiar-looking tools for composing, managing and viewing e-mail messages as well as multiple accounts. With the goal of taking a bite out of Outlook’s user base, WordPerfect Mail is designed to make it easy for you to import e-mails, folders and contacts from Outlook (as well as Eudora and other e-mail programs). Corel said using its worldwide distribution channels, WordPerfect Mail will become the most widely available alternative to Microsoft Outlook.
Corel reports that it has licensed that technology from Yahoo and that it will be the sole distributor. To produce WordPerfect Mail, Corel teamed with Yahoo and the Bloomba technology it acquired from Strata Labs. In fact, Corel claims that a search that takes four -to-six minutes in Outlook takes only five seconds in WordPerfect Mail. One of the objectives of WordPerfect Mail is to make searching large in-boxes, folders, calendars, contacts and attachments comparable in speed to searching the Web using a search engine. You can search the “to” and “from” fields as well as look in specific folders and within specific date ranges. You can also fine tune your search using “any of,” “all of” and other criteria. Recognizing that small businesses receive far more e-mail than they can easily manage, the search capabilities are designed to let you look for keywords in the body and subject lines. When Corel CEO Amish Methta talked to this spring about why WordPerfect Mail was a valuable addition to WordPerfect Office 12 - Small Business Edition, he asked the rhetorical question, “Ever try to do a search in Outlook?”įocusing on its claim to complete e-mail searches in seconds, Corel today announced that it will offer WordPerfect Mail as a standalone product.
