Xobni 1.7 leaving beta label with greater perfomance

xobni Xobni 1.7 leaving beta label with greater perfomanceXobni 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.

Gmail allow undo send email, only for 5 seconds

In Microsoft Outlook, there is recall feature to recall emails that you sent unintentionally, or contain mistake that you only notice afterward.

Undo Send, the new Gmail lab feature, trying to handle this incident, on slightly different way. Every time you send an email, an ‘Undo’ link will appear on top of the sent email, for 5 seconds before it is disappear. It is said 5 minutes is enough to notice and catch that email, although I feel this is only suite for short emails.

Clicking the ‘Undo’ link will bring that email back to the compose email screen where you can edit back that email.  Remember, it can’t pull back email that already sent.

The next Gmail lab feature that I wish to have is,  ’recall’ feature, just like what Outlook can do, or even better.
