Xobni team has releasead Xobni 1.7, a new version of  Xobni, a popular Microsoft Outlook plugin last week. At the same time, the beta label is coming off, to mark another milestone of Xobni.

That was a great news to Xobni user, as this signaled that Xobni has achieved more stability, in term of performance and functionality as well as free from minor bug.

I’ve been Xobni user since 2008, but has stopped using it due to buggy performance. Xobni is great plugin for Outlook, if it is not because of that performance issue, which happen when you have huge mailboz size. Personally, I admire its powerful search feature, which default search in Outlook, is lacking with.

The new version highlight the performance enhancement it has made to Xobni.

• Outlook now starts 31% faster*
  • Additionally, you now have the choice to make Xobni start immediately with Outlook, or start only when you want to use Xobni
• Xobni Profiles now load 42% faster*
  • We’ve cached profile data, so Xobni stays out of the way of Outlook when it is doing its thing
• More performance controls
  • Users can control how often and how much data Xobni indexes
  • Users can control when Xobni is running

* Users with large inboxes will experience more dramatic improvements. We made these improvements for you!

I’m tempted to use it back, and I wish these claims are true. Download Xobni here.
