I agree, I use Act for my business, I wanted to use MS outlook just becouse
I use email so much. But after spending hours playing with tril version I
downloaded I noticed that it is not very user friendly. Some of thing just
don’t work, I run a Martial Arts Academy and like to be customization some of

I think I’ll stick to ACT
