NewsGator Inbox - Options

One thing about NewsGator Inbox that you may not notice right away is a small toolbar that has been added to your outlook view. It can be found in the top right corner of your Outlook screen and simply says “NewsGator Inbox”. There is also a dot with an arrow that creates an open circle around it on the toolbar. This is NewsGator’s version of a refresh symbol and it will basically update all your feeds and Syncs with NewsGator Online.

The “NewsGator Inbox” on the tool bar is actually a drop down list and will provide you with a number of useful options. The first is another opportunity to update all the subscriptions followed by a way to add new subscriptions. You can also manage your subscriptions or learn about your reading habits. There is also a Clean up wizard that you can run to clean up your NewsGator Inbox. This is also where you will find your NewsGator Inbox Options screen. If you have the post to my blog function setup you can also select that option from this drop down.

The next section of the drop down is focused on ways you can find out more about your NewsGator Inbox. This section has Alerts so you can be notified if there is a problem with your NewsGator Inbox. There is also a Help section and a link to the NewsGator Forums. The next section allows you to check for updates or to provide feedback to NewsGator about the NewsGator Inbox. Lastly as will all Windows applications the About section is listed, which gives you information about the version that you are running.

Over the next few posts I will look into these options and provide a review. Check back to see which one I am reviewing next!
