New email address context menu can speed up your workflow
May 20th, 2008 by will ·We just rolled out a new feature that can help you process your email more efficiently. When you roll your mouse over an email address while viewing a message in Zenbe, you’ll notice that it becomes buttonized. Clicking this button will give you a list of common tasks that you can perform on the selected email address.
You can: create or view a contact associated with the email address; compose a new email to the email address; search your mail for other messages to or from the email address; or create a new email rule based on the email address.
Here’s one example of how this feature can speed things up for you…
I’m going out of town this weekend and I just received my travel itinerary. I’d like to categorize all messages from JetBlue reservations as travel, add a star and forward a copy to my wife. Here’s how I can use the new context menu to create a rule to do this for me…
Just mouse over the email address and select “create a rule”
The rule criteria are already setup for me, so I just need to add some actions to take.
Let us know what you think about this new feature. We really appreciate your feedback!

Hi!
Nice addition to the fold, but it is missing a critical function: Add to address book/contacts!!!
Would REALLY add a vital component.

Hi Peter,
Not sure if I understand your question. Add to contacts is the first option in the pulldown. If you already have that email address in your contacts there will be an option “Show in Address Book” to display that contact.
Try it out and let us know how it works for you…

That is a handy little feature!
I’ll have to take Peter’s side on the Address book option. Something about the current wording.. “create contact” just doesn’t stand out and say.. “Hey! You can add this person to your address book for later use if you wish!”
The option is clearly there, but in my honest opinion isn’t optimally worded.

I think I would be looking for the word “add” when it comes to inserting another contact, rather than “create”. “add contact” would be much more user friendly. It’s all about the little details.

Wow this is a really handy feature. Things like this that just add ease to managing email will put this email above Google/Yahoo. I look forward to that day.
