## Reviews

### "Filechimp Does Not Work with Outlook" — 1.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *06 February 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Our overall experience in dealing with FileChimp is poor. There is nothing positive we have with the software. Its been a complete waste of money.
> 
> **Cons**: Filechimp does not work with Outlook. It constant needs reinstalling to work with Outlook as it always disappears. Its a complete waste of money. The technical support cannot assist to correct the issue as it always disappears from Outlook.
> 
> Poor technical support, they cannot fix the issue they have with their software and Outlook and don't give a refund when it doesn't work and even charge you again after you have cancelled the software.

### "An extremely valuable program" — 4.0/5

> **Randall** | *20 January 2020* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I am a lawyer.  I maintain individual client files.  I wanted a program that would 1) move Outlook e-mails into my individual client files; and 2) move Outlook e-mails out of the Outlook .pst file, which does not function as well if it gets too large.  This program does both of these things.  It also has a very nice system for suggesting what client files the e-mails should go into.
> 
> **Cons**: In my experience, there are a few minor convenience features of the program that on occasion do not work.  For example, I have the program set so that, once I have told FileChimp to move an e-mail to a client file, FileChimp then deletes the e-mail from my Outlook inbox.  Sometimes that doesn't happen, and I have to delete the file myself.  Odd, but not a big deal.   I should mention that have a version of the program which is several years old, and this issue may have been fixed.  And, in any case, for some reason, I have been seeing this issue less frequently in any case.

### "Perfect Email-Filing Product" — 5.0/5

> **Matt** | *31 October 2019* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The product is easy to set up; easy to format to work how I want it; it's incredibly easy and quick to use; the blog posts give loads of hints and tips; and the customer support is excellent.
> 
> **Cons**: I am yet to find a fault with the product

### "Easy filing with archived e-mails at your fingertips" — 5.0/5

> **Keri** | *17 May 2016*
> 
> Sean helped me set up, which was really helpful as I am a 1-woman-band.  Tagged e-mails are filed in Outlook and in Explorer before I even know that they have arrived, so I don't need to even think about manual filing - which certainly saves me more than a few minutes each and every day.  I would highly recommend FileChimp to all small and big businesses, and even for the busy home user\!
