If you select the Archive option, your messages are moved and the originals are deleted from the mail client. There is also a difference between importing messages and archiving them. By checking the “Hide Imported” messages option, you will skip all messages that are already in the DEVON database. Nice about DEVONthink Pro’s mail import capabilities is that you can actually synchronize (manually or by scripting) your database with your mail client’s database. DEVONthink Pro (Office) tightly integrates with the major mail clients on Mac OS X, which means you can ingest all mail messages directly and quickly from Mail, Microsoft Outlook, and any Unix mailbox. The Doxie scanner is not supported, by the way, but more “serious” document scanners are fully supported - the Fujitsu ScanSnap is a good example. It’s the same OCR engine DEVONthink uses as Doxie’s. You can then scan using whatever app you want. If you must ingest a paper document and your experience is the same as mine, you can always use the provided Folder Actions for automatically picking up documents from a folder and applying OCR on the files within. On my system, it recognized the scanner, but when I tried to actually scan (beyond prescan, which doesn’t result in a preview) it sort of threw the scanner out, so that even Image Capture didn’t see it anymore. DEVONthink Pro Office recognizes it as a scanner, via OS X’s Image Capture app. I started by trying out the scanner with OCR feature, using an Epson Perfection V700 Photo scanner. You can also run DEVONthink Pro as part of the DEVONtechnologies eco-sphere of applications, which multiplies each DEVONtechnologies app exponentially, turning your Mac into a real data/information/knowledge management powerhouse - and I’m not exaggerating! The scanner did not respond after it started scanning. That’s right: I first tested the features of DEVONthink Pro Office while running on its own. Testing DEVONthink Pro Office - on its own DEVONthink Pro (Office) supports custom icons, extension of functionality using AppleScript, drag-and-drop, Lion Full Screen mode, and a Sorter. It will index or copy OmniOutliner files, OPML files, integrate with EndNote X4, bookmark (!) Address Book vCards, etc.,etc. The latest version of Pro Office version of this program - and the one I was given to review - will perform OCR on scans and other text-based documents ( ABBYY FineReader), even when hooking up scanners that only OS X’s Image Capture will see (more on that later).
