As I mentioned earlier, I have been using the new ClearContext V5, and I love it. The new color coding approach for important e-mail really works now. In this new version, that feature has been simplified so that it gives me good information but minimizes color-clutter. I used to disable this feature in the old versions since, no matter what I tried, I found the colors confusing, especially once the mail was marked read. The new one has just the right amount of simplicity and support. There are two main colors, and I have no trouble distinguishing read from unread mail. I now use it all the time!
I’ll write a much longer article about all the new features in V5 in an upcoming newsletter, but I wanted to share that info now. Here’s the link to my specific version of V5, and the link to the regular version of ClearContext.
