Every release, and what changed in it.

OleaDesk now knows who you have already written to. It reads your own sent mail, so a buyer you contacted by hand no longer looks untouched — and if you ask for a sequence for someone there is already a conversation with, it tells you before writing a cold opening.

When someone replies, you can decide what happens next from their row: come back to them in a week, a month, or next year, or pick the exact day they asked for. Anything you park can be found again under Planned or Archived.

OleaDesk also reads the reply and suggests what it means. It used to read “I may well be interested in the new year” as interest, and offer to move that buyer into your hand-off pile. It now recognises a polite “not yet” and offers to park them until the month they named.

Connecting a work Gmail is easier: if your company's mail runs through Google, OleaDesk recognises that from your own domain and gives you the right setup instead of guessing.

Outlook and Microsoft 365 mailboxes cannot be connected yet — Microsoft stopped letting other apps sign in with a password in September 2024. OleaDesk used to offer to set one up and then fail. It now says so plainly.

An important fix to how your calendar connects. When looking for a calendar server, OleaDesk could send your email password to your own company websites, which are not calendar servers and had no business receiving it. It now checks whether an address is a calendar server before offering any password. Nothing you need to do, and your working calendars are unaffected. Two quieter fixes as well: OleaDesk stops retrying Google Tasks when your Google account has not granted it, and rejecting a buyer is now properly reported back to the agent that found them, so it stops looking for that kind of company.

The assistant fixes its own sign-in. If AI features were telling you to sign in again, they now quietly renew your session and carry on. Outreach counts add up: a finished sequence is no longer filed as something waiting for your approval, and buyers who went through every touch without answering have their own list, with a second run you can read before it sends. And you can now move to another computer on your own - save a backup here, choose it there, and OleaDesk shows you what is in the file before it replaces anything. Your old mail is kept, not deleted.

Outreach is easier to work. Your buyers can now be filtered by the agent that found them, and the list separates the ones nobody has written to yet from the ones waiting on your decision. Sequences in flight are grouped by agent and folded away, so a long list is readable again, and replies are grouped by what they actually meant - including a new "interested, but not now" that keeps its own reminder date. In your playbook you can move touch points, add or remove one, and start a second run at a buyer who never answered, reading exactly what would go out before anything is sent. You can also import a contact list straight from an Excel, CSV or Word file.

Your assistant now connects itself when you sign in - if AI features were asking you to sign in again and again, that is fixed. Agent scores are also fairer: the score no longer counts a step we could never measure, so a working agent now reads as one. Your agent funnel shows how many buyers are actually contactable.

Messages about your account now read as plain English wherever they appear. If your sign-in needs refreshing, the app says so in words instead of showing a technical error code.

Your inbox now groups itself so a price request or an order cannot get buried under receipts and newsletters - and it stays that way between restarts. Anything you flag yourself is marked Important and gets its own group. Turn the grouping off any time with the layers button above your mail.

Your plan now shows how many days are left in your free month, so the end of it is never a surprise. Nothing is deleted when a trial ends - your agents, the buyers they found and all your mail stay exactly where they are.

When your free month ends, the app now tells you so plainly and shows you how to carry on - before, it showed a technical error code that meant nothing. Nothing is ever deleted when a trial ends: your agents, the buyers they found and all your mail stay exactly where they are. Messages about your plan are now written in plain English wherever they appear.

A notification could show a wildly wrong number of waiting buyers - it counted the same ones again every time it checked, so a few dozen became a few hundred. It now counts what is actually there. OleaEngine only appears in your pipeline if you actually use it, instead of sitting there greyed out. And your outreach identity - who sequences send from, who takes over on a reply, your booking link - has moved to the Playbook tab, where the rest of your sequence settings already live.

Outreach now opens on what needs you, not on charts. Each thing waiting says what it means and has one button — replies to decide, buyers ready to write to, sequences drafted and waiting — with the most valuable at the top. Buyers that just arrived appear at the top of your list instead of buried several pages down, and anyone who replied to you comes first. Notifications no longer repeat themselves: your agents' work is one notice that keeps its count up to date, rather than a new alert every time it changes. Asking about your calendar now gets an actual answer. It used to reply "Opened calendar." and open the screen instead of telling you what was on it. Your profile shows what your plan includes, and a message you had just deleted no longer reports an error when the list catches up.

Buyers your agents found now reach you on their own. Once you approved and released them, they only arrived if you happened to press a Sync button on the Outreach screen — so approved buyers could sit waiting for weeks. OleaDesk now collects them when it starts, every fifteen minutes, and whenever you open Outreach, and tells you when they land. Setting up a new mailbox also makes sense now: instead of an empty screen while your mail copies across, you see how far along it is, and as soon as something needs you OleaDesk shows you the emails waiting rather than leaving you to find them.

Notifications now wait for you. They used to appear for a few seconds and disappear, so anything your agents did overnight was gone by morning. There is now a bell at the bottom of the sidebar with a count on it, and each notice stays until you deal with it and tells you exactly where to go. The number on your taskbar shows the same count. OleaDesk also now keeps learning on its own: every day it re-reads your recent sent mail to stay current with how you write, and picks up lasting facts about your business. That used to be a setting most people never found. And there is a new page showing what it has learned about your voice — how you open, how you sign off, and the habits it writes by.

Connecting your inbox is much easier. Gmail, Yahoo and iCloud give you a special password made of four blocks of letters — and they quietly reject it if the spaces come along when you paste. OleaDesk now removes them for you and tells you it did, the setup steps are written out one at a time with a button that opens the right page, and if a connection fails it says which of the three things went wrong instead of showing a raw error. You can now choose a table's size when you insert one, instead of always getting three by three. And your settings show which plan you are on rather than just “AI is active”.

The program file is now called OleaDesk. It had still been called james.exe — an internal name from before the product had one — which is confusing on your own computer and, on a download that is not yet certificate-signed, makes security software suspicious of a file whose name has nothing to do with what you downloaded. The file details now read OleaDesk throughout. Settings no longer offer to use your own AI key: the AI is included with your plan.

Wide emails. Some messages — price lists, buyer tables, anything with a lot of columns — were too wide for the reading panel and got cut off at the edge. There is now a widen button beside Reply that hides the sidebar and the list so a message has the whole window, and Esc puts them back. Where a message is still wider than the space, OleaDesk offers to reflow it to fit, and you can switch back to the sender's original layout at any time. You can also now tell us in one click when an email will not open, from the message itself.

Some emails could open to a blank panel. Your message was never lost — it was stored and complete the whole time — but the reader was sizing itself from the email you looked at before, and could leave the new one no room to appear. It now measures every message on its own. If it ever cannot, it says so and offers you a Retry instead of showing you nothing. A message that failed to open once also used to stay blank on every later attempt; it now genuinely tries again.

When your agents find new buyers, the count now appears on the taskbar icon as well as in the app — so it reaches you while OleaDesk is minimised, which is where it usually is. The count clears once you have looked at the Agents screen.

This version installs under the correct name, OleaDesk, one word. Because Windows keeps the name in the install location, it installs next to the old copy rather than replacing it — once you have opened this one, uninstall the old "Olea Desk" entry. Your mail, settings and passwords are untouched and shared between them. Also: the welcome screen now shows the mark on white instead of a black tile.

Housekeeping. Colours across the app now come from one place instead of being repeated in every screen, which is what lets the look stay consistent as it grows. Two controls that had no background now have one.

Notifications now show OleaDesk and the right logo. They had been showing the old name because the app could not write its own notification settings and never reported the failure.

OleaDesk now checks for updates while it is running, not only when it starts, and tells you plainly if it could not reach us instead of looking up to date. Everything from the previous release is included.

Your agents now tell you when they have found new buyers: a count on Agents in the sidebar, and a link straight to the workspace to release them. Plus a Profile page, and a red badge when an update is waiting.

Replies are checked before they send: any price, phone number or link that is not in the thread or in what OleaDesk knows is flagged for you first. Your details are now always available to it, so it never has to guess at your own phone number or booking link. Dragging an address between To and Cc works. Your sign-in keeps itself alive instead of expiring. New Profile page, and the notifications and installer now carry the right name and logo.
