From the ClearContext Scorecard in Outlook, you can compare your email performance to all other ClearContext Users (Scorecard > My Stats > Compare Stats). On ClearContext Online you can also compare with smaller groups. For example, here’s a graph of TWC User’s statistics.
To join a group:

Private Groups
Anyone can join Public Groups from the Preferences page (i.e. TWC Users, GTD Users). Private Groups are available for many companies, including Microsoft, Intel, EMC and HP. If you registered for ClearContext Online with your company email, the group will automatically be listed under Available Groups to Join.
If you registered under a personal email address, validate your company email address on the Preferences page:
Once validated, any private groups available for that domain will be listed on the Preferences page. Follow directions above to join.
If you want to create a private group for your company, send us a note at support at clearcontext dot com and we’ll get the process started.
Now that you’ve taken the tour of ClearContext Online, here’s how to get started using the service:
Last week we rolled out a preview of ClearContext Online. This week I’ll spend some time introducing you to our new features. First things first – take the tour!
View a snapshot of your email activity on your ClearContext online home page. This includes:
- Average messages sent and received
- Response time
- Email Effectiveness
For an example, view averages for all ClearContext Users.
Compare your statistics with other users and groups, including:
- Sent and Received
- Replies and Responsiveness
- Inbox Size, Unread
- Effectiveness and Workload
For an example, see this comparison of our CEOs email performance to the average ClearContext user. After sign up, this page shows additional groups for comparison.
The ClearContext Scorecard allows you to evaluate your performance against others, including:
- Effectiveness and Workload
- Response Time and Communication
- Inbox Control
Evaluate the average effectiveness and workload for all ClearContext users. After registration, use this page to compare your scorecard against individuals or groups.
If you’re ready to get started, download and install ClearContext and click Compare your stats online on the Scorecard.
The average ClearContext user receives about 500 emails per week. How does your email activity compare to those users, your friends, and people at your company?
ClearContext users reply to emails on average within about 6 hours. How does your email responsiveness compare?
Most ClearContext users send 100 messages per week and keep their inbox at under 25 messages. How effective are you at managing your email, and what steps can you take to improve your effectiveness?
Today we’re excited to give you a way to answer those questions as we open up beta availability of ClearContext Online to everyone!
ClearContext Online is a companion service to both our free Personal and paid Professional ClearContext for Outlook products. This site will provide a wide range of services to help you take better advantage of all the interactions and information that flow through your email within Microsoft Outlook.
The first set of services we’re releasing revolve around email statistics and effectiveness:
If you’re a ClearContext for Outlook user already, click the Compare your stats online link on the ClearContext Scorecard in Outlook to get started with ClearContext Online. If it’s your first time, you’ll have to register and then click that link again to access ClearContext Online. If you have already registered a support forum login, that login will work for ClearContext Online as well.
If you’re not a ClearContext user already, download ClearContext or take a tour of ClearContext Online.
In the coming months, we’ll be writing a lot more about how we’re expanding ClearContext Online to help you make the most out of everything you do within email.
Before we go into detail on that, though, our next big announcement will be something many of you have been waiting on for a long time – information on the next major release of ClearContext for Outlook. We’re working on a lot of exciting improvements that our users have been requesting, and can’t wait to share our plans with you. Stay tuned to the blog for a post on that later this month.
We have pushed a minor update to our Outlook client. v4.6.5 addresses the following:
This update is complimentary for all registered v4 Pro and v4 TWC customers.
Download: Personal & Pro | TWC
The Office Team has released Office 2007 Service Pack 2 to the general public. Read about Outlook-specific changes here and download via Windows Update.
We have been running beta versions of SP2 in house for several months now and have found that it greatly improves performance and reliability. I highly recommend that you upgrade at your earliest convenience.
If you haven’t already installed the February Cumulative Update, SP2 will take several minutes to convert your Outlook mail file at startup. Trust me, it’s worth the wait.
The Information Overload Research Group is putting on a 90-minute online event on Monday with a great group of speakers.
Dr. Oliver Brdiczka from PARC, Prof. Gloria Mark from UC Irvine, Col. Peter Marksteiner from the USAF, and Jonathan Spira from BASEX will be sharing a wide variety of perspectives on INFORMATION OVERLOAD: THE IMPACT ON THE ORGANIZATION.
The event is free, but does require registration, so please take a look at the agenda, sign up, and join us Monday for what will be a very interesting session.
To avoid this, create an Outlook rule to delay delivery of email by a minute or two. A real lifesaver!
