BuffaloBill Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 A friend of mine recommended an app from xobni.com. (inbox spelled backwards) It will organize your inbox and emails. If you are like me and deal with a massive amount of email and have a subtantial archive (.pst file). Rather than me describing it for you I suggest you visit their website. A very helpful tool. Link
Chilly Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I've got a suggestion, how bout not using Outlook?
BuffaloBill Posted January 22, 2009 Author Posted January 22, 2009 I've got a suggestion, how bout not using Outlook? Hard to do when it is the defacto tool used in your office
Chilly Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Hard to do when it is the defacto tool used in your office Depends on where you work, I guess. I switched from Outlook a long time ago even though its the defacto tool used in my office.
The Dean Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Hard to do when it is the defacto tool used in your office Yup. I have worked for companies where I had no choice, other than to use Outlook. I never use it on my personal machines, though. A few of my clients are married to Outlook...I'll have to take a look at this. Thanks.

I forgot to add the search function within xobni blows away outlook's search function but then again search in outlook is about as slow as a turtle with two broken legs.

I always used Thunderbird, but now I am all webmail.

Search in Outlook is terrible; Windows Desktop Search 4 does it make a little better. Thunderbird or Evolution ftw.

Chilly Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 If you have to use outlook, you should have Google desktop installed for searching. The outlook search is a joke. Only problem there is the possible privacy violations with Google, depending on your company's policies.
The Dean Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 If you have to use outlook, you should have Google desktop installed for searching. The outlook search is a joke. I think BuffaloBill is suggesting that xobni does a good job of improving Outlook search, so maybe you don't need Google, or Windows desktop search.
