Xobni (inbox backwards) has left beta status and is now available to download by anyone. If you never took it for a spin, you’ll want to. It only works with Outlook, but does several things you’ll learn to love really fast.

For starters, it has a very fast and reliable search feature It also scans your messages for contact information and saves that, making it easier to lookup information from people that have emailed you. 

You also get threaded conversations (like in Gmail), email statistics and more. It’s so impressive, that Microsoft tried to buy them last month. But Xobni turned down their offer!

You can download it (for free) here.
