Thank you to Beta testers
We would like to say a big “Thank you” to everyone who participate in the Beta cycle and provided feedback. Beta feedback on usability and stability of SimplyFile 3.0 has been overwhelmingly positive. Here is one of them:
Your product is absolutely amazing and quite literally has changed the way I work with email (for the better). It is the most useful application I have ever downloaded, and I will never be without it. Over one weekend, I have cleared (organized and filed, not deleted) over 6,000 messages, and am on track to clear a two-year backlog in the next day or two. What a relief … thank you for developing such a useful and well-thought-out piece of software.
Thank you, we really appreciate all the support and encouragements.

Disabling unnecessary plugins is a great way to make your Outlook start faster, run more reliably, take less memory. In Outlook 2010 and 2013 Add-ins are listed under “File Tab->Options->Addins”.
To Disable Outlook 2016, 2013 and Outlook 2010 COM Add-ins
Select “COM Add-ins” in the Manage drop-down at the bottom of the “Options->Addins” window and click “Go”. Note: To get to the Options window, click on the File tab first.
Uncheck any add-ins that you are not using.
Click OK.

Today we released a new version of TwInbox – 2.0.1.112. This release includes one frequently requested new feature – an ability to send new-style retweets.
New-style retweet support
When you select a tweet and click the RT button, you will see a dialog which will let you select between the new-style and old-style retweet. It looks like this:
Select the type of retweet
Next time you click RT, this window will remember your previous selection, so you can simply hit Enter.
Note that this retweet type selection window is only shown when you retweet tweet messages. If you hit the RT button when a regular message is selected, you will see the old-style retweet. This is because only tweets can be retweeted using the new-style RT.
As always, we are looking forward to hearing your feedback. If you enjoy using TwInbox, please show your support by telling your friends about it. Thank you for your continued help and support in making TwInbox a success!

Today we released a new version of TwInbox – 2.0.1.111. This release includes several small but important usability-enhancing features.
Selecting recipients and hash tags
TwInbox will remember sender names and hash tags for all messages you receive. The “Post a new Tweet” window now has buttons for picking recipients and hashtags using convenient selection dialogs.
Click "@" or "#" to insert @recipients or #hashtags
To select a recipient, click the “@” button. In the “Select a recipient” window, type a few characters of the person’s name to select it, then click OK.
Type a few letters to select a @recipient
Selecting hashtags works in a very similar fashion.
Note: In order for a tweeter user to appear in the selection window, you have to have received a tweet from them after installing this new version. The same applies to hashtags.
Sorting retweets into recipient folders
This version also includes a small change to the way tweets are sorted into recipient-based sub-folders. (Applies only if you enable that option). Now tweets are stored in the folder for the person who retweeted it, instead of the folder for the person who sent the original tweet. This change is a result of feedback of many of you who said that you would prefer this behavior. It will only create folders for the senders you follow.
As always, we are looking forward to hearing your feedback. If you enjoy using TwInbox, please show your support by telling your friends about it. Thank you for your continued help and support in making TwInbox a success!

When you do a Twitter serach using the website, you can use the “near:” operator to find tweets related to a particular location. For example, here is how you can look for a happy hour near One Market Street in San Francisco.
Unfortunately, the “near:” operator is not supported by the Twitter search API. So when you perform a search from TwInbox, or another Twitter client, you cannot use it. However, all is not lost. There is a relatively simple workaround. You can find coordinates of (geocode) the location you are looking for, and then use the “geocode:” search operator.
There are many scenarios that require mapping an address or location to geographic coordinates (geocoding). For example, we had a need to do that in order to search Twitter using TwInbox. There are literally thousands of other cases that require latitude and longitude of a particular location.
There are websites out there that let you type an address and see the geocode for that address. However, they are usually limited in some way. For example, they only work within a particular country.
In this article we show you how to find geocode for any location, using Google Maps. All it takes is a few simple steps.
Step 1 – Find the location in Google Maps
Start by looking up the address or location in Google Maps. In this example, we lookup “One Market St, San Francisco, CA”.
Find the location in Google Maps
Step 2 – Click on the Link hyperlink
Click on the “Link” hyperlink in the upper-right corner of the map.
Click on the Link
Step 3 – Click on Customize
Click on “Customize and preview embedded map”.
Click Customize and Preview
Step 4 – Find latitude and longitude (geocode)
In the preview window, scroll down to section 3 (HTML embed code). Look for the fragment that starts with “ll=”. In our example, it is “37.794108,-122.39511” (See the screenshot below). That’s it. Pretty simple!
Note: be sure you are looking for “ll=” and not for “sll=”.
Get latitude and longitude
You can verify your result by entering the values back into Google Maps:
Today we released a new version of TwInbox – 2.0.0.109. It introduces three new features which have been subjects of many improvement suggestions from you. As always, we value your feedback and are looking forward to hearing from you in the future.
What is new in this release
Favorites. An ability to mark tweets as favorites and to have TwInbox fetch your favorite tweets into Outlook, like it does with other timelines. To mark a tweet as favorite, use the “*” button on the TwInbox toolbar. To have TwInbox fetch favorites, enable the corresponding option on the Account Preferences tab.
New-style RT. TwInbox will now fetch new-style retweet messages in your timeline. Please note that it does not support sending new-style retweets at this point.
Outlook 2010 Ribbon UI support. We have added a preliminary support for the new Outlook 2010 Ribbon UI. If you using Outlook 2010, you will see TwInbox controls on the “Home” tab.
A number of usability tweeks, performance and bug fixes
As always, we are looking forward to hearing your feedback. If you enjoy using TwInbox, please show your support by telling your friends about it. Thank you for your continued help and support in making TwInbox a success!
