I never found this program very useful. You install it, play around with it for a bit, then it just sits off to the right of your message viewing pane never to be touched again.

I have only had very good results with xobni, after I put enough memory in my laptop.
I also use Copernic, but I tend to prefer xobni for the outlook, and Copernic for the rest.

This is like LinkedIn. A fraction of users will pay to use this. Everyone else will use it very occasionally. Oh and LinkedIn ALREADY has an Outlook plugin.

So what about sorting and ordering email threads? Maybe. But is that worth paying for or just clicking on the "sort by thread" tab on Outlook?

No freakin idea what VC's fund these days.

Cumbersome. Slow. Crashed outlook one too many times. Uninstalled. Msft should release Office 2010 and vitiate any value add this quasi feature “pre revenue” company could possibly offer.

Been using Xobni for the last 7 months. It's a tremendous productivity boost for Outlook when you've got thousands of messages from tons of contacts. I havent used Outlooks built in search box since I installed it.

Looking forward to the new version.

eard that Microsoft offered to purchase Xobni for something in the $20 million dollar range, way before this last round of funding. I just wonder if they made the right decision to continue to grow organically in this economy and am interested in how this product will evolve and figure to be of even more use in the enterprise.

The thing I found is after the first few days of having Xobni the novelty wore off and since it made my Outlook slow and crashed it a few times (cant really be sure if it was Xobni or Outlook), I gave up on it.
