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. [1]"I have no idea how I lived without it. It absolutely ROCKS. It adds light-years to my e-mail processing efficiency.

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.
