I tried Thunderbird but experienced enough bugs there that I ported my mailbox back to Outlook. I will say though that I went back to Outlook 2003 rather than Outlook 2007 so I could continue to use the Lookout Freeware Search add-in. I'll be interested to see how the Xobni search feature compares with Lookout. (Xobni folks beware - I will compare the two!) I’d have to agree with the Xobni folks on starting with Outlook.

We started with Outlook because we realized Outlook users experience a lot of pain. We thought we could help. Also, this was a strategic business decision. Outlook dominates the business email market. This results in a very large potential user base, and a user base with good paths towards monetization. Hi Lalit, good question.

Why not Thunderbird? I know there will be a thunderbird plugin as well. Is it because it was c# and easier to implement with Outlook? Just wondering what your thought process on that was.

If I don't get an invite I don't know what I'm going to do with myself. This sounds like a wonderful tool… especially for a guy who’s over Outlook.
