If so, then get your hands on the excellent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xobni.com\/\">Xobni<\/a> which has just been released as a public beta version. This is no average plugin either &#8211; it&#8217;s the result of 7 months closed beta testing and adds major new functionalities to Outlook.<\/p>\n<p>Once installed, you&#8217;ll see the Xobni sidebar on the right of your Outlook interface. It creates a separate profile for every contact (with a little photo too if you want) in your contacts list where you can see data about your relationship statistics (how many e-mails you&#8217;ve exchanged including a ranking based on how frequently you contact them), related contacts, threaded conversations and attachments they&#8217;ve exchanged with you.<\/p>\n<p>One particularly useful feature is a small graph at the top of the profile which shows you averages of the time of the day you most frequently exchange e-mails which gives you an idea of that person&#8217;s working time schedule (useful if you don&#8217;t work in the same office). In addition, it adds contact details automatically to your e-mails without even requiring any info from your Outlook contacts list. It does this by detecting phone numbers and e-mail addresses that people have sent you and then automatically creating a profile based on this data. On top of this, finding threaded e-mails and attachments is considerably easier than trawling for them through Outlook. In fact, searching in Xobni is a pleasure because it has its own search bar which instantly brings up contacts with contact details and your most recent conversations with them.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re continually finding yourself frustrated with Outlook, then you might find that Xobni brings long overdue Gmail style functionality to the world&#8217;s most widely used desktop e-mail client.<\/p>\n<p>You can download Xobni <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xobni.com\/\">here<\/a> and see it in action here:<\/p>\n<p>[youtube]amRkMds177A[\/youtube]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever felt that Outlook is not exactly the most helpful e-mail client when it comes to finding old attachments or sending group e-mails?
