The box at the top-right that rotates out other features of the pro version. When I was trying out using this as a "tree"-style editor, this was really annoying.

Great program. I think this is the best PIM out there, IMHO.

@Frank. EssentialPIM Portable does NOT write data (*.ini or *.epim) to the Appl. Data Folder, but to the Ess.PIM folder.

Essential PIM is not Stealth, it writes Data (including the Database .epim) to the App Data Folder

PS. EssentialPIM Portable
One thing I would like to see added to the Note Tree;
1. _______Node linking, as done in TreePad
This feature would help in many ways: Such as an Contents of Internal notes (NODE Linking)
**** Help / Reminder / To Do / Project structure outlines / Grocery shopping list / Web Page Links and so on.
This would be on my wish list, for your programmers.
Thanks again for all the work your doing with this Program

EssentialPIM Portable
I love the ability of importing both KeyNote & TreePad program files.
I also enjoy the Spell check feature, as in My Microsoft Works word processor.
* The underlining of misspelled words, This helps me write a note quickly for the web & know that it was done right the first time.

I feel that KeyNote & TreePad has grown into a much more productive use (Along with your Program).
The information that I've saved into these two programs store most all me information and the importing of them is a grate feature, ALONG with your search feature.

I love the work you've done and to have all this in a portable program is outstanding.
Now I can get started checking out the rest of the program.

PS. The Icon customizing in the tree structure is Perfect.
Your a blessing to all who want a portable buddy on there memory USB stick.
A true Personal Information Manager (PIM).

Great software except that, for those of us still using paper organizers, it does not allow the sort of printing customizations that MS Outlook does. In fact, no other electronic organizer offers printing customizations the way Outlook does. This sucks because it would be nice to avoid MicroSquish products whenever possible.

dd: if it is taking so long it is probably because you backup your database each time.

The con: I imported some 8500 messages.
Afterwards it takes some 3 or five minutes to open the prog. (notebook @ i5-m450 @2GB ram @WXP)

I was looking for a portable Outlook Express replacement and this is the best I found.
And is a lot better than OE.
It support multiple accounts, unicode, multiple languages, you can choose to see all messages in global or separated folders and export messages to *.eml.
Also has calendar, notes, contacts, etc that you can disable if you want.

I have tried several freeware portable PIMs and EssentialPIM suits me best. In my view The latest installations offer little extra over version 1.95 (See Ancient Images above for download location).

The version 1.95 running file-set is, after deleting unused language files and using UPX compression, much smaller in size than the later versions.

Version 1.95 has a built Outlook synchronisation facility, both forwards and backwards, without the need to export to a file and then import as in the current free versions.

Version 1.95 databases are considerable smaller than the those produced by the latest version. The database file size for an identical schedule and contact list are:

1,661 kB in version 1.95
2,768 kB in version 3.72

As far as I can see, the free version does not synchronise with Google Calendar. Pity

Program webpage states that encryption is not offered in the free version. From http://www.essentialpim.com/?r=products&pr=essentialpim&prr=provsfree (see Secure Advanced Encryption - Yes for Pro version, No for Free version).

@Chris on 04/09: the current free version does indeed offer encryption. Aside from that, my take on this app is that it does so much right, that the things it cannot do are heartbreaking. Do this: create a new, empty database, then add a daily, repeating task. What does EPIM do? It creates thousands of database entries for this one task for the next ten years, instead of one entry that repeats daily (duh). How is this efficient database usage? How can this be after three major revisions? Ugh. Still, few things compare to the featureset.

Yeah, so i might prefer the earlier version, but i still think it's good.
I purchased a 'portable' copy and it's got the lot.

I prefer the earlier version. I had some trouble exporting stuff.

Other than that it's great.

Sigh. Free version does not offer encryption as the Synopsis at the top of the page (above) indicates. Pro only feature according to the website.

Nice tool, fresh colors. I use ToDoList, which has a flatter look. Ess.PIM. gives a better overlook on more-day tasks. I will give a try besides ToDoList (also on this site).
