Subtitled: Search, Search Search
In an earlier post I mentioned that I use hundreds of folders to organize all of my e-mail messages. I should mention that I also use ACT!’s contact management capabilities to file most of my client-related email messages.
However, the point of this message is search. Outlook’s built-in search is no-good. So I use X1 (www.x1.com). With this tool, purchased by yahoo a couple of years ago (and like the google desktop search gadget) you get full-text indexing of all the contents (every single word) in all e-mail messages, spreadsheets, documents and most databases for near-instantaneous retrieval.
Try a desktop search tool, you’ll like it.

How do you think X1 compares?
Like Mike said, if you like X1, Xobni would really, really make you happy. Full text search, instant results, plus auto-profile building for every contact in your inbox. It will change your life.
