Zoot offers tremendous raw information processing power for Microsoft Outlook users. When you synchronize Zoot with Microsoft Outlook, the information in your Outlook folders is brought into Zoot where it can be manipulated as free-form text using Zoot's collection of powerful information processing tools. The synchronization process is quick and straightforward, so you can transfer information back and forth between Zoot and Outlook throughout the day, capitalizing on the relative strengths of each program.
If you're wondering why you would want to use Zoot in conjunction with Microsoft Outlook, the answer is simple: Zoot's information-processing tools are state-of-the-art and Zoot is considerably lighter on its feet. There are some things Microsoft Outlook can do that Zoot cannot do, but in terms of free-form information processing and day to day information management, you can't beat Zoot. Just wait until you see how quickly you can find your data in Zoot as compared with Outlook!
There is another important reason to use Zoot alongside of Outlook: long-term data storage. Most computer users need to store and maintain quick access to information collected over a period of years or even decades. Zoot was specifically engineered for long-term information management. When you archive information in Zoot databases, the information is just as easy to access as it was before you archived it. This is not the case with Outlook.
You can synchronize Zoot databases with the items in any Outlook folder, but even if you choose only to synchronize your Inbox folder with Zoot, the benefits will begin to accrue immediately and over the long-term.
