Share Emails with Colleagues

filechimp — Wed, 18 Mar 2020 15:05:50 +0000

If your office has recently transitioned to rotating shifts or home working you may already be faced with communication difficulties. FileChimp can help solve this issue by helping all staff to save their emails into central storage (this could be a network drive or common cloud storage). No matter where you save your data you can enhance Outlook with the FileChimp addin allowing you to file and search emails into regular storage. Doing so you enable your team to work efficiently, being able to review recent project / client communications without having any access to your mailbox.

Would you like to know more - just ask. We are happy to give you a call and discuss the issues you face and how we might help overcome them.

5 Common pitfalls of email archiving solutions

filechimp — Fri, 08 Nov 2019 12:22:24 +0000

If you are on the lookout for an email archiving solution here are some questions often asked by customers to consider

Q : Does the software require any databases

A : No. No fancy databases or ongoing IT administration. FileChimp is a client side tool and is 100% self sufficient and requires no additional servers or software.

Q : How easy is it to deploy the software to multiple users

A : Create and deploy central configurations. You only need to setup FileChimp once and configure a network location from where all additional installations will pull their configuration from.

Q : What are the common pitfalls addressed by your email archiving solution

A : Most systems require users or administrators to re-configure the software for new clients or projects. FileChimp is different in that it will automatically pick up new client or project folders added to the network - so no additional action is required by the user, simply record the client name or project number anywhere in the subject line and FileChimp will file the email to the correct folder. In addition automatic filing can help to capture emails that might not normally be filed by users who have not fully adopted an email archiving solution.

Q : Once we start using the system - how hard is it to 'opt out' should we chose to do so

A : Emails are saved by default as regular .msg files which can be opened by Outlook. Emails saved into folders with other documents are easy to backup/restore and no special software would be required to read the emails which could be dragged back into Outlook should a user chose to do so.

Q : Can we file historic emails easily

A : Yes, once setup you can batch process selected emails and file them automatically to the network by either drag and drop into a Sync folder or by matching project numbers / client names / email addresses to network folders.

Enable a disabled Outlook addin by registry key

filechimp — Tue, 13 Jun 2017 14:03:58 +0000

If you need to re-enable an outlook addin this can often be done by setting the relevant registry ‘Loadbehaviour’ key to 3

In the case of FileChimp you will locate the key here (other addins would be very similar). The example shown below is a 64 Bit Windows 7 installation. If you are running 32 bit windows 7 please omit the Wow6432node.

Go to start and type ‘regedit’ and press enter

Expand the registry to locate the following key –

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\FileChimp.OutlookAddin.FileChimpAddin

Double click the LoadBehavior key and set its value to 3
