More detail on v5:

1. v5 Blog Posts - see this post for details on new v5 functionality.
2. Prioritization by category - On upgrade you will run through setup to re-prioritize your Inbox.  ClearContext will append a prioritization category to each message in the Inbox:
   • CC VIP - messages from senders marked important
   • CC OK - messages from known senders and\or messages from conversations that you have participated in
   • Messages can be optionally tagged with Outlook high priority indicator or flag
   • Go to ClearContext > Options > Configuration to customize prioritization tags
3. Color-Coded Views - Existing v4 ClearContext views will no longer work with v5.  To see messages color-coded by these new priority categories, select the ClearContext By Date, ClearContext Threaded, or ClearContext Prioritized by Category view from the Outlook View menu:
   • 2003: View > Arrange By > Current View > ClearContext View Name
   • 2007: View > Current View > ClearContext View Name
   • Outlook restart is required to display new views
4. Discontinued features - – FolderContext and File Topic have been removed in 5.0 and will be back in re-designed form in 5.1 release.  Alerts and Notification Manager edit/creation have been removed and will be back in re-designed form in 5.2 release
5. Multiple mail file support - by default, folders in all open mail files will be available for filing.  Remove mail files from the list via ClearContext > Options.
6. Toolbar customization - if you previously customized your Inbox toolbar, you may see buttons that are no longer applicable.  Go to ClearContext > Options > UI/Toolbar and press Reset All to restore the default toolbar.
7. Undo - select Undo from the toolbar or the ClearContext menu to restore recently filed mail
8. Preliminary Outlook 2010 Support - Outlook 2010 Beta users will now see ClearContext functionality on the main ribbon.

• Outlook 2010 users:
  • The setup dialog may be hidden underneath the Outlook window.  Please make sure that the setup process completes before using the product.
•  Known issues when running two machines simultaneously:
  • If running the same AutoAssign rules on both machines, messages may be acted on/moved twice.  For those of you who leave one machine running at all times, we recommend maintaining AutoAssign rules on a single PC with Outlook open all of the time.
• If you rely on any of the discontinued features (FolderContext, File Topic, Alerts or Custom Notification Managers) we advise you to postpone upgrading until a future v5.x release.

Any and all feedback is encouraged.  Please post all feedback and issues to in the beta section of our User Forums.  You must be a registered user of the forums and a member of the Beta usergroup to read and post.

Thanks for your help in testing the product!
