Hey - stumbled upon your blog! Xobni is good. Ya tried Outlook Track-It yet? Gives you a small toolbar that increases functionality. For instance, you can set reminders to give a followup email, or get one from the recipient. It’s pretty amazing.
Not that I’m impressed a lot, but this is a lot more than I expected for when I found a link on SU telling that the info here is quite decent. Thanks.
