If you have ever lost a legitimate message in your junk folder, then this plug in is for you.  Geobytes' Message Keys for Outlook automatically finds and recovers messages that your spam filter has mistaken for spam.

What is it?

It is a new breed of software known as a Spam Filter Companion - it runs along side your existing Spam Filter to correct Spam filter mistakes. It works by inserting unique "keys" in to each instance of your email address, and then checking for the existence, and validity of these keys in incoming messages.  For the technically inclined, Message Keys for Outlook (also referred to as M4Outlook) is a "plug-in" for Microsoft Outlook that implements the client side of an Email Permission Keys System.

What are lost messages costing you?

Today more then ever life is about relationships, an unreliable email system damages your relationships.

I don't get any Spam, so why would I need this?

You don't have to have a Spam problem to have a Spam Filter problem, and there is a very high chance that you are running a spam filter - whether you are aware of it or not.

But I don't even use a Spam Filter?

Did you know that Outlook provides a default rudamentory Spam Filter, and by default it is enable, so even if you have not installed or configured a Spam filter there is a very high probability that some of your email is being mistakenly misdirected to your junk folder.

What is the point of running a Spam filter anyway?

Perhaps it is an academic point as most people are running a spam filter and will continue to do so any way, but what is the point in running a spam filter if you still need to routinely check your spam folder, as doing so exposes you to all of the spam that the filter is supposedly protecting you from.
The point is that… whenever you check your Spam folder, you are being exposed to all the Spam - only the folder name is different. Only when your "Lost Message Rate" (LMR) is reduced to the point where you no longer need to check your Spam folder is your Spam exposure reduced.

Everyone knows that email is unreliable- if it is import, then they should call.

Yes, they probably should - but will they? When was the last time that you called someone to follow up on a non-response? Do you yourself routinely follow up important messages with a phone call? If you do, then perhaps you could suggest to the recipient that they install our Message Keys plug in, as it would save you a lot of time and inconvenience. ;)

What is your spam filter's real lost message rate?

Unless you have been living on another plant for the last 10 years, then you probably already suspect that spam filters are not as perfect as the people that make them might have us believe. You may have heard claims from reputable companies stating that they have fantastically good "false positive rate" - like for example, they have a "false positive rate of 1 in a million". Does anyone actually believe this, and what does "false positive rate" actually mean - why don't they just say lost message rate if that is what they mean?

Well, the short answer is that there is a big difference between the meaning of "false positive rate" and "lost message rate", but would you buy their product if they told you that it was going to loose one in a hundred of your legitimate messages?
