The inability to find things inside of that inscrutable black inbox that is your Microsoft Outlook email is one of the great frustrations of modern life. So Xobni’s search tool seemed like a great thing. And it probably is, if you’re willing to buy the full version. But don’t even bother with the free download.
Xobni’s evaluation version only indexes your inbox. So if you use other PSTs, tough. Most frustratingly, it hijacks your recently used email selection. So you start to type a name in the To field and you get a message “10 messages including …” So you hit your down arrow and instead of getting your contact you get a popup to buy Xobni.
I don’t have the freedom to buy software for my work computer, so while I’m sure it’s a good tool, I’m giving up on Xobni
