Xobni – Inbox Plugin for Outlook
Posted by Gavin in Just for Fun, Software on March 27, 2009
We’ve been testing this on our Office for a good number of months now. It’s a very powerful plugin for Microsoft Outlook.
Finally out of Beta we believe it is the right time to be recommending it to our clients.
The main reason we started using it was for it’s excellent search feature. Still on MS Outlook 2003, we had been using Lookout as our search indexing plugin of choice, but it was annoying having to remember all of the little commands to do certain search queries.
The nice thing about Xobni (inbox backwards in case you’ve not yet noticed) is the way it creates a little profile for each of your clients – pulling together usfeul information such as telephone number, recent conversations and who is in their email network. Select an email and you can immediately see that persons recent emails, file attachments and even their profile photo – if they are on facebook or linkedin.
Think of it like having social network features in your mailbox.
