Last week Walt Mossberg reviewed Xobni, a plugin for Microsoft Outlook. The review was mostly positive so I thought I would give it a try. Wow! If you use Outlook this tool is a must-have. Once installed, the Xobni dashboard pops up right inside Outlook (as an additional vertical panel). When you click on an email, you can see the history of emails with that person and a list of attachments sent or received. You also get the person’s phone number (from your Outlook addresses or the Web). When I click on the daily update emails I receive from the Wall Street Journal, I also get the 800# to the Journal and the general email address (access@interactive.wsj.com).

There are many more features, but the bottom line is that Xobni makes your email much more functional and easier to navigate. And so much easier to search! How did I ever live without it?
