@Cyganet, Sure, glad to help. NEOPro an amazing tool if you use Outlook, well worth the cost.

Regarding UltraRecall, yes it still works quite well for email. My reason for “switching” is just that information is not going in and being found very easily, which is how the wiki/markdown style seems to solve via Zettlekasten principles. Similarly, email is getting lost in my system, in terms of having to drag/drop an email from Outlook to a project folder in UR and then link into the contacts, etc. I used EssentialPim which has natively linking of everything, but frankly that program is so buggy that I couldn’t rely on it for email. So in terms of email I will still use Outlook/NEOPro and process/backup email from there, but would like to be able to insert important or reference emails into the new program.

@Dr Andus, I remember you were a huge fan of ConnectedText back in the day. It’s a shame that didn’t keep being developed, as it was ahead of it’s time.

Now that I’ve had some time to look, it is clear that OBSIDIAN is the one to use. Wow, is it every powerful! Windows installation and seems to be able to handle anything/everything as well as be customized for many use cases. However, learning it appears to be more daunting than Zoot pre help file and InfoQube combined.

Do any of you have any recommended resources, or tips for learning and building an Obsidian structure for various uses?
