The appointment item will then open. Click on the Invite Attendees to transform it into a meeting request and the sender’s address will automatically be populated by SimplyFile.

The question you are probably asking is why would I use SimplyFile for this task instead of just dragging the email over the Calendar folder to create an appointment item. The answer is that believe it or not, this tool really does save time and make you more efficient – once I started using it, I couldn’t live without it.
