Description
Titus Message Classification provides classification services for Microsoft Outlook messages. A small toolbar is added to the Outlook toolbar in the New Message window. Users select the appropriate classification label from the dropdown for their message. Labels are completely customizable. The label, once assigned, can appear in the message subject line and/or message body and remains in the header of the e-mail where it cannot be altered by the user.
Examples of how the labels can be used are: for security such as 'Unclassified', 'Internal Use Only', 'Secret' or 'Confidential', or for mail archiving such as 'Retain 30 days', 'Retain 90 days', 'Archive'. Special email signatures or disclaimers can be added to outgoing messages based on the classification. Administrators can control distribution of messages based on the classification via content scanners or the product's integration with Microsoft RMS.
Review
This tiny application lets you put classification labels on e-mail messages sent via Microsoft Outlook, but it fails to improve upon the existing sensitivity options already available in Outlook. Message Classification adds a toolbar in the window as you create a new message window, allowing you to label individual messages as Unclassified, Confidential, or Secret. Unlike the sensitivity options, the labels don't impact recipients' ability to manipulate the messages. Also unlike Outlook's existing importance icons and follow-up flags, the classification label is added only in the body of the message in the trial. (The full version promises to add the label in the e-mail header and the message subject line and allows customization of labels.) It does what it promises, but given what Outlook already brings to the table, we don't predict many users will get excited about Message Classification.
