EverDesk Standard Edition 5.1

EverDesk Standard Edition is a complex application that works as an agenda and e-mail manager. This software is similar to a virtual desktop that allows you to visualize files from your computer and open other programs.

The interface is pleasant and well structured. If you are unhappy with the default theme, you can choose one of those 31 available. You can also have the possibility to set and bring new e-mail accounts, as well as to import emails and contacts.

Although EverDesk Standard Edition lets you open other applications using the ‘Programs’ option, it doesn’t recognize all the software installed on your computer. For instance, it can visualize photos, text files, it has an audio-video player, but it isn't able to open PDF files. These types of documents are partially recognized or not visualized at all.

You can use the ‘Calendar’ function to efficiently manage your time. You can select one of the six ways to view it. Another useful thing is that you can change font colors. I have observed that the application makes an error when it detects a debugger and it cuts your possibility to open or use the file. There is also a 'Snooze' option which reminds you of important events on time.

To send e-mails you need to establish some settings regarding the e-mail account and the servers for incoming and outgoing messages. However, when testing the connectivity to Yahoo, an error window pops up to inform you that the access is denied. I didn’t encounter this problem when connecting to Gmail account. A good thing about this tool is that you can make the right settings for saving e-mails in your computer.

In my opinion this app could be a good gadget, but the fact that it combines totally different functions complicates your work. The ability to open other programs or files isn’t very useful, because it can be done by your operating system. If you want to use this tool as agenda or organizer, you will be surprised that is works well. However, there are other programs that offer these options and which aren’t limited to a 30 days trial.
