Earlier this week, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen introduced a new software company called Xiant that will focus primarily on desktop productivity tools. The first product offered by the company, Xiant Filer, is an email sorting program designed to help users organize and better manage their Outlook inboxes. 
A beta test version of Xiant Filer is currently available as a free 60-day trial, and it can be downloaded directly from the Xiant website. Within the next few months, the company plans on selling the software to consumers for approximately $39.
Although Allen left Microsoft more than 25 years ago, he came up with this product on his own, as he’s supporting an effort to improve Microsoft Outlook. When he thought up the idea, Allen was searching for a more efficient way to manage his daily flood of emails.
Xiant Filer can be programmed to automatically route incoming emails to particular subfolders. These folders can be labeled, of course, which will help users retrieve older messages and eliminate clutter. By remembering users’ preferences, the software can also suggest where you may want to send your files. According to Xiant, this feature becomes more accurate with increased use.
Xiant is expected to launch several more products in the near future, including one that speeds up the rate at which you can transfer large digital files over the Internet. The software company has already been developing more programs that will help users be more organized and productive.
