Drowning in your inbox

Are you drowning in email? If yes, there is hope. Email has been one of the killer applications of the internet. The number of emails and number of people you interact with over email just keeps increasing day by day. I think there is a email-threshold beyond which it is not possible for people to effectively use email. It happens to me regularly these days and sometimes I am drowned in my inbox! Outlook and Gmail are the two applications I use for work and personal use respectively. Gmail is a great tool but still lacks some of the features one is used to in Outlook, one of which is the creation of work flows. I use Outlook for work email and use all its possible features to effectively manage my inbox. The tool still lacks the ability for users to effectively take control of your inbox. Instead of using the tool to manage my inbox, I was managing the tool. All that changed after I came across XOBNI (INBOX spelled in reverse). XOBNI is a free plugin available for Outlook which provides with a much faster search for emails than Outlook. More importantly it provides a sophisticated analytic features to rank people, provide links to conversations, email files exchanged etc all in a simple interface with a much speedier search database generation than Outlook. Its a great complement to the features available in Outlook and would highly recommend it. I am looking forward to a paid service which will provide more sophisticated analytics for email. XOBNI is a great tool and I am truly impressed by its simplicity to provide much required and readily available information regarding your email. Congratulations to the team at XOBNI for creating a truly awesome tool.
