Description:

ZipOut can quickly locate attachments anywhere in a mailbox or personal folders (PST) file. This essential feature continues the evolution of ZipOut from a simple compression utility to an attachment management suite. The core of the product remains attachment compression, seamlessly integrated with Outlook.

In terms of size, attachments are the principal component of message traffic and constitute a significant factor in network congestion and mailbox bloat. ZipOut will compress many common attachments by as much as 80-90%. This provides dramatic reductions in storage demands and bandwidth loads.

Attachments are also a primary vector for the transmission of viruses and other malicious software. ZipOut can be set to restrict or block the transfer of specific attachment types. These management functions integrate with or can be used as an alternative to the attachment security features of the Microsoft Outlook E-mail Security Update.

In many organizations, e-mail attachments are the primary mechanism for sharing documents. One drawback is that it can be hard to find an attached file when you need it. Outlook can do complex searches on message subject and text but has no way to look for an attachment. ZipOut solves this problem by indexing all message attachments, including embedded messages and files that are contained within zip files. The index can cover just a few folders or span multiple mailboxes and PST files, and it stays current through automatic updates. ZipOut makes it easy to create a simple or complex search that returns results almost instantaneously. The index is maintained within the primary mailbox. That means the index is automatically updated on a laptop just by synchronizing your Outlook profile, and it is available to a roaming user at any desktop.
