One thing I immediately did not like was that I had to change my Outlook to use cached Exchange mode. Not a big fan of that on my desktop since we have 99.99% uptime to the Exchange server and it tends to make Outlook slow to get my new messages. I went ahead and enabled it and we will see how that goes.
Once the install was done it started scanning my Outlook folders, including my PST surprisingly enough. It did say that Outlook would be slow this first time and they weren't kidding. I switched to my BlackBerry and OWA while it did its thing.
After it finished it had installed a new toolbar along the side of my Outlook.
When I choose an email from the preview pane, I get information like this sample. It lists how many emails I have gotten from the person, all the past conversations, and a list of files I have sent to or been sent by that person.Xobni's website says it is "the Outlook plug-in that helps you organize your flooded inbox." I can definitely see that. Just the fact that it finds all the past files I have sent someone is going to be a huge use for me. On their blog they show a quote from Bill Gates calling it “the next generation of social networking.” That part I am not that convinced about. Maybe if they add additional clients it will work worth maybe. Or it could be just me since most of my emails are with internal users.
