xobni_logo.gifIf you're looking for a crucial e-mail that's buried in that digital avalanche you call Outlook, an app called Xobni (Inbox in reverse!  Give these guys a medal!) will surely be a godsend.  It indexes your emails and returns pertinent information at your fingertips.

Yes, Google Desktop search also applies the same concept in terms of indexing, but Xobni goes one step further by making the information available in real time, in the form of a navigation pane on the right hand side of Outlook (as opposed to the Mail folders which appear on the left hand side).  Each highlighted email instantly pops up related data, which can be drilled down to reveal further related info.

Contact numbers, ratios of emails received to emails sent, conversations (based on email threads), contacts who were frequently carbon copied (CC'ed), histories of attached files that were exchanged, all of that is reported by Xobni.  And yes, it's free.  The New York Times gives more details of what we can expect from this very valuable email extension.

O yeah, here's the download link.
