One of the issues a lot of people have had with PinkNotes Plus v4 is that when you have a large number of messages in your received message window it is sometimes tough to find the PinkNote you want. The same goes for the Log window. You can easily have a few thousand messages in your sent and trash logs and to try and find one specific PinkNotes can be difficult.

We have completely revamped the received message window. What we have done is given the list of messages in the received screen a lot more detail and we have made it easier to read.

In v4 the list of messages only included the subject (or the first few characters of the message text). An icon to indicate if the message was new, read, or re-sent to yourself. Red text if it was urgent. And is always sorted in order you received the messages.

In addition to those, in v5 we have included fields for who the message is from. The date and time the message was received. There are new icons to display, new versus read, urgent, and attachments. Plus you can sort those fields in any order you would like.

There will also be a search box right above that list too quickly search for any message details you would like. And you can include specify starting and ending dates for your searches.

In this same screen we have included a folders frame. This frame will let you easily look through your messages all in one screen. There will not be a separate logs screen. This gives you the ability to moves messages from one location to another by dragging and dropping messages to the folder you would like them in.

In v5 all messages will also be “threaded”. For example in v4, when you received a message and replied back and forth to it a number of times you got multiple copies of that same original message in your received and logs screens. In v5 all those replies back and forth will be in one message thread with all the sent dates/times for each reply. Plus, there will also be a reply box at the bottom of this screen so you will not have to open up a new window to send replies to a message.

It may sound like from my explanation that this new window will have too much going on. But we promise to keep everything simple, to the point, and easy to use just like we have always done. We plan to get some screen shots on here of what v5 will look like for you shortly.
