For example, some people keep everything in their inbox; others like to keep their inbox as empty as possible by processing incoming email as it arrives. They either delete it after reading it, move it to one of usually around 70 folders for archiving, or into a holding folder for further action. Yet others are 'spring cleaners' where their inbox becomes cluttered over days, weeks, or months, until they can't stand it any longer so they do mass purging and archiving.

The Professional Edition features are automatically unlocked for 30 days when you install Taglocity for the first time. After that you can either purchase a Taglocity Professional Edition license or continue using the free Standard Edition.

Taglocity Professional Edition gives you:

A single license can be installed on as many computers are you use. Find out how to purchase a license.

The first time you start Taglocity, a Welcome window opens with several helpful links and a Start with common tags and actions checkbox to create common tags and actions. We recommend accepting the suggested tags and actions to give you a generic collection of tags that you can add to or delete from whenever you like. This checkbox is checked by default. If you want to skip this feature, simply uncheck it. If you change your mind, you can access it later via Taglocity Configuration. Otherwise simply create tags as you need them.

Consider creating a free TeamFeed account. Taglocity is integrated with TeamFeed, a group inbox service with benefits: Share emails, unlock knowledge from personal inboxes, update statuses (like a private Twitter), reduce 'office spam', and automatically share tags. See TeamFeed to find out more.

The quickest and easiest way to create a free account is to click on the Try TeamFeed for free!  Create a free account (recommended)... link in the Welcome to Taglocity 3 or Trail Information dialog boxes that open at startup during the trial period. Or create one online here: TeamFeed,

Once you have created an account, you can tell Taglocity to sign you in automatically upon startup.

Note  Taglocity uses your free TeamFeed account for Roaming Configuration, a Professional Edition feature that automatically synchronizes tags and settings for people who use Outlook on more than one computer.

There's a lot more to Taglocity than tagging. And there's also ways to benefit from tagging without having to do the 'work'. Learn more in the Much More than Tags! topic, then see Time Saving Features for an overview of all Taglocity's productivity features designed to improve your email experience in Microsoft Office Outlook.

After you've become familiar with Taglocity's productivity features, see Setup Your Workspace for other ideas about setting up your Outlook interface to make best use of limited screen space, and how to integrate Taglocity to suit your way of working.

One of the most powerful features of Taglocity is tagging but this doesn't mean you should spend too much time tagging all your old email (although there is a tool to help you do this if you want to). The purpose of tagging is to provide a better organization system for archiving, and then improving your odds of finding things later very quickly (via Tag Filter, Taglocity Search, and Windows Search too). You can ease into using tags and sooner or later you will begin to wonder how you ever got by without them! Jump to Tagging for more information and tips.
