latest one. You can see the rest of changes in the Version History
section.
Please note that update for EssentialPIM Pro U3 edition is to be released soon- we are improving update
mechanisms.
There is a new module in the program called Trash. You do not need to worry about accidentally deleted
items anymore. All you have deleted might easily be restored and put back to work with a click of a
mouse.
Another main improvements for EPIM 1.9 include increased number of priorities for Tasks and To DoТs,
easy export to iPod, Mass Mail utility (allows very flexible mailing to your contacts), "Private"
checkbox (allows show/hide items in EPIM and their exclusion in export/synchronization), and improved
support for Unicode in all program's modules.
Another minor release of EssentialPIM that improves the existing functionality of the program and fixes
some small bugs and omissions found since EPIM 1.81 was released.
This is a bugfix release with some improvements made with regards to showing of Subject/Body entries in
the Schedule module, as requested by many users. Although not critical bugs were found, weТd still like
to suggest current EPIM users to update to this new version of the program.
The EPIM team is proud to announce the release of the new version of EssentialPIM 1.8. This release
combines a significant amount of new features and feature enhancements with a number of bug fixes
found in the previous version of the program. Some of the key changes of EPIM 1.8 include:

Linden, New Jersey - September 28, 2005 EPIM Ltd. today released the highly anticipated version
of its personal information manager, EssentialPIM 1.6. The core components of the PIM were reinforced by
data protection, attachment support, multi-user access, and on-the-go backup. Whether it is an
attachment in EssentialPIM database, backup file or multiple copies on the net, personal data is
securely protected with a password and an industry standard encryption. Editable categories and
unlimited length of data fields have added to the functionality of the new version. These new features
make EssentialPIM a perfect choice for SOHO users.
Different applications generate scores of documents and memos directed to one end. Without data
integration there is always a chance of overlooking some important clues and dates. EssentialPIM Pro
v1.6 helps link these documents to items on a user's agenda. The program's database creates a single
point of reference for contacts, tasks, notes, and to do lists. It bonds together notes and documents
under separate tasks with the view on their relative progress and deadlines. It also marks the priority
of each item and shows hierarchical relation between notes and documents. The program's powerful search
engine saves time and delivers requested data in a blink. By scheduling separate bits of work, marking
their priority, and linking them together one can dramatically increase the overall work
efficiency.
A great scope for customization complements the program's extensive functionality. Visual presentation
of scheduled tasks features different color code and viewing modes. To Do list reflects the status of
each item and its priority. These and many other features were suggested by users to better meet their
daily needs. Here are some testimonials to illustrate users' view of the program:
"In the past I would have bits of paper lying around all over the place.EssentialPIM was so good I never
even tried looking for any alternative.... All in all, I would be lost without it." Terry Rogers,
Portsmouth, UK.
"I like EPIM for the following reasons: It's small yet powerful. It has almost all the functionality I
want from this type of software. It's extremely intuitive and easy to use, yet flexible to meet the
needs of many different users." John Wales, UK.
Network support provided by EssentialPIM can also increase joint productivity of a team. Professional
version of the program allows simultaneous access to documents in shared folders, personal assignments
and performance tracks. This makes EssentialPIM Pro an effective management tool for both personal and
team schedules.
EssentialPIM is available in the Desktop and Portable versions. The Portable edition allows moving data
onto a flash drive or other removable media with all its settings so that no trace of personal
information can be found in the host system. This feature provides a great benefit for users of desktops
who wish to keep tasks, appointments, notes, and contacts at hand all the time.
