This is where Xobni, a free(!) Outlook plugin, shines like a bright light amidst the daily deluge of emails. I have listed below some of the main features of Xobni which I find quite useful based on my experiences.
1. Email Analytics
- This shows by ranks, graphs and statistics how you and your contacts use e-mail.
- This is my favorite feature since for example, I can graphically see what time during the day my contact usually replies to my emails. This helps me know what is the best time to send an email to a contact and when to expect a reply.
- I am very fastidious in organizing my e-mails into specific folders. This helps me constantly achieve my target of retrieving an e-mail that I am searching in less than 2 minutes.
- With Xobni, I can do away with my 2 minutes search criteria. I can search my e-mails in almost real-time speed. It is that fast! It begins showing the appropriate e-mail as I type the keyword/s. By the way, my PST file is more than 4GB in file size thus you can imagine the power of Xobni in searching e-mails.
- Xobni allows you to integrate your Outlook to social networking sites such as LinkedIn and Facebook and web services such as Yahoo Mail and Skype.

Dinski, I encountered a recent problem with my company e-mail (which uses a Gmail business e-mail service). I use the web interface instead of Outlook.
ReplyDeleteRecently my Firefox would periodically crash and I realized it only happens whenever I'm using my company e-mail. I tried updating my Firefox to the recent version hoping it would solve the problem but it still happens.
Any thoughts on what the problem may be? Thanks! :)
Jonski, just like to confirm that you are using Firefox to read your company's emails via the Outlook Web Access. If this is indeed the case, I think the problem lies in your usage of Firefox itself. Outlook Web Access is optimized to run in IE 7 or 8 so that you could use all the available features. In other browsers, most features are supported but not all. With these said, I reckon this may be potentially the source of your periodic crashes. My initial advise is try using IE 7 or 8 {gasp} for the meantime and monitor if you will experience the same crashes in Firefox. I hope these helps.
