[QUOTE="Interactive, post: 1467266, member: 281870"] First time poster, I just started my Mac-life with a MacBook Pro 15 (retina). Love the hardware and OS, but I'm missing some functionality in Outlook that's killing me at the moment. First, I was a long-time user of ClearContext which is an Outlook (for windows) add-in that greatly automates email filing and task tracking. The biggest benefit to me was simplified filing of inbound and outbound messages into my project folders. Once I had assigned a topic (folder) to a thread, all future inbound and sent messages would be auto categorized for quick one button filing. This was very beneficial to my inbox workflow and really helped me keep things in check. Any Office for Mac 2011 alternatives? The other app I'm missing is copy2contact. This allowed me to highlight any text in any app and parse the data into a contact record in Outlook. Most often I could use this to grab the auto-signature from an email and quickly create a new contact. I could also grab the data from ppt, excel, word, the web, etc. To top it off, this gave me a way to quickly transfer contact records in to salesforce.com automatically!! Some may suggest my challenges are that I'm trying to use Office for Mac rather than native Mac apps...but I really can't imagine this transition without these corporate standards (our company is 90% windows users). Any ideas to ease the pain? [/QUOTE]
