Xobni - The Outlook Organiser

Well, we have just had an email from Xobni that the beta-version of their Outlook plug-in is now freely available for anyone to download. It was on an invite-only beta release for the past seven months, but this has now been completed.

Xobni is an excellent pice of kit, making the handling of our emails so much better. It boasts the following, and we have found it to be great during our testing period:

• Lightning fast email search
• Email analytics
• Inbox Navigation by ‘people’
• Scheduling functionality
• Threaded conversations
• Quick attachment discovery
• Phone number extraction from emails

The software is only available for Windows XP or Vista, and will only work with Outlook 2003 or 2007. They say that they intend to push this out for other email clients in the near future though, so worth keeping an eye on it.

Their site to read more, or to download the software, is www.xobni.com
(beware though, their servers are likely to be quite busy in the next few days)
