Feature 4.0.0 3.1.0 2.3.9 1.2.4
Core Functionality
Install and Go!: No manual configuration required at all for most common usage scenarios! (i.e. when the server is Exchange, by default mail from secondary mailboxes is sent on behalf of that mailbox and stored in the corresponding Sent Items folder while mail sent from mail-enabled Public Folders is sent on behalf of and stored in that folder) X X X X
Smart Sender: Automatically set the sender of new messages depending on context (e.g. current folder selection) X X X X
Smart Target: Automatically move sent messages to an appropriate target folder (e.g. messages from a secondary mailbox into the Sent Items folder of that mailbox) X X X X
Copy of sent message in own Sent Items folder X X X X
Smart Sigs: Use different signatures for messages depending on context (e.g. current folder selection, reply/forward or new message) X X X -
Actual Sender column in folder views allows you to keep track internally of who actually sent a message on behalf of a shared account without having to disclose that information to the recipient. X X X -
Smart Reply: Intelligently handle sender, target folder and signature when replying to or forwarding messages (e.g. when replying to a message that was opened via Outlook's New Message notification window, use the sender properties relevant for the Inbox folder rather than the currently selected one) X X X -
Smart Reply-All: Excludes the sender from the list of recipients when doing a Reply-All on a message in shared folder or mailbox. X X - -
Reply as original recipient: when replying to a message inside a mailbox or folder that collects incoming messages for different accounts, automatically use the recipient of the original mail as the sender X X - -
Sender Name Disambiguation: Gets rid of Outlook name resolution prompts (e.g. when you have both "MyCompany" and "MyCompany Info" in your addressbook and you're creating a message on behalf of "MyCompany" Outlook will not prompt you for the account you meant) X X X o*
Available User Interface Languages
English X X X X
German X X X X
Multi-language user interface: Allows switching the user interface language at runtime. Will by default use the same language as Outlook (if available). X X - -

Sig.Macro: Include file contents: Insert contents from any external file (e.g. from a network share) into your signature. The specified file name may also include environment variables that allow you to refer to user-specific directories such as %HOMESHARE% or %TEMP% X X / /
Sig.Macro: Include signature: Simplifies combination of multiple signatures. X X / /
Embedded images in signatures X X X /
