So that if I needed fast response time, I could turn it off, and just use Outlook. When performance wasn't an issue, I could turn Xobni back on. Would also be nice if there was an easy and/or automatic way to keep it updated, so I always had the latest version. Thank you.

Clearly, your functionality is great. At this point you should dedicate most of your resources to addressing the performance issues. Personally, I don't care about all the statistics. I just like the intuitive, and friendly search features. If I had an option to disable the stats, and it made it work faster, that would be great. Good luck!

I had to uninstall it though because it kept locking up Outlook. I was running Outlook 2003, XP Pro, 1GB Ram. It simply made Outlook impossible to use because Reply and Forward would freeze Outlook in its tracks. I love this product. I had to uninstall it though because it kept locking up Outlook.

Any suggestions? thx i love xobni. my only complaint is that my company requires that I archive mail frequently, and teh indexes don’t seem to get updated, so after I archive, teh xobni datamart knows about the email, but it can no longer find the email…even if I re-index.

I *LOVE* Xobni!!! Unfortunately, I'm going to have to uninstall it due to the significant performance issues it has introduced with the startup and shut down of of MS Outlook. I run Outlook on a Dell D620 with 1GB RAM, Outlook 2003, and a fully up-to-date Win NT. My Outlook with Xobni consumes 204,476 MB RAM. Without it, Outlook consumes approximately 40 MB. This morning, I was in a meeting, and had to open Outlook to pull up an email for the project team to read. Outlook took over 10 minutes to open to a point where I could get to the message. Outlook was non-responsive the entire time, and I couldn't get it off my screen. Once Outlook is up and running, the hit isn't too bad, though the responsiveness is sluggish compared to running Outlook without Xobni. It's a fair price I'm willing to pay most of the time for the great features and reporting. I'll keep an eye on Xobni to see if the performance improves. When it does, you can definitely count on me to install the latest version! What a great tool!!! I *LOVE* Xobni!!!

It seems like it locks up while it reads from the disk as I open or delete messages. I receive log emails from applications we develop in my email, so it isn't uncommon for me to get 15,000 messages a day and I suspect this is causing it some difficulty. I have 4GB RAM on my machine, so swapping shouldn't be an issue. I haven't dumped it because I really do like the search and the list of attachments.

That is when my colleague introduced me to this amazing dynamite of a software called Xobni. It digs through the mailbox in a flash. Also, has pretty cool features. I am loving the experience and also giving it as much publicity as possible. I was struggling with my desktop cum mail search tool and was looking for an alternative.

The product is amazing and I'm telling everyone to try this out. Feature-wise you have hit a big mark in adding core functionality that all the Kings' Horse's and Men of MS didn't bring to market. So Bravo. As to performance, I'll let you know if it becomes an issue. For now, it's not. So go help those other guys!
