Thanks for the update Carl..I've been contemplating ExtraOutlook so this
is good to know. If it comes down to one or the other though...xobni
wins hands down for me for the productivity gains.

>I have 6 invitations if anyone wants one, but ask in PRIVATE mail only

Ditto. I have a few more than that. Please ask in PRIVATE mail only

I had my name on the list at the website for a bit and had not heard
anything so I asked Michael S and he was very gracious and sent me one.
We were both big LookOut fans so his endorsement[1] of this product
meant a lot to me. Thanks Michael! I couldn't agree more.

I'll pass along my experience just for the heck of it...no issues so far
(~36 hrs)

Running it on my work laptop, XPSP2, Outlook2003, E2K3,  240MB ost,
1.2GB pst, xobni index ~540 MB
On my home laptop XPSP2, Outlook2003, POP3 to ATT/Yahoo, 250 MB pst,
xobni index ~38 MB
Both are sub 2GB processors with 2GB ram and the performance drag is
negligible, the efficiency gain far outweighs the minimal lag.

Just for grins I left WDS indexing mail also to see if it would be too
much of a perf drag and so far it hasn't been enough to make me turn it
off. OTOH, I have not returned to it to look for anything either and I
used it constantly so I'll likely exclude email from WDS in the near
future. xobni is an order of magnitude faster...at least it seems so to
me.

Best thing to come down the pike in a long time IMO.

light-years to my e-mail processing efficiency. (I know that metaphor
doesn't really work, but you get the idea.)"

Monday I put my name on the list at the Xobni website and got approved
less than 24 hours later.  It may have had something to do with my using
Vista and Outlook 2007.  

 

So I have 6 invitations if anyone wants one, but ask in PRIVATE mail
only.

 

Installed it this morning and already I have "issues".

 

Xobni and ExtraOutlook don't get along.  Not surprising, the worst I can
say about that is the Xobni boings and pops up a warning that it can't
run twice.  I don't expect Xobni to program around it, since
ExtraOutlook is very commonly used.

 

But, Xobni is setting messages to read just for clicking on them (no
preview pane enabled).  And in one case, all 15 or so unread messages in
a Public Folder went read at once, and I'm pretty sure I didn't click on
each message.  I poked around looking for "don't mark messages as read"
in the Xobni options and not finding it, I send a report to tech
support.

 

Just now while writing this message, 3-4 other unread messages in my
NTSYSADMIN public folder became read.  Not good.  Unread status tells me
I need to look at it.  Messages going unread by themselves isn't
something I can tolerate for very long.
