Walt Mossberg reviews Xobni
The key points of the software he reviews here, are features that the mail application, that comes built into your Mac already does in wonderful ways. Xobni, is an add on for that application “Outlook” that is default on Windows XP and severely frustrating for many users, and so if one used Outlook, one may use Xobni. Interestingly, most clients of mine have long ago moved to Gmail(if they’re Windows Users or Apple Mail) since both of these provide really fast indexing, sorting, calendar and meeting integration and more.
Mail, the humble program down in the Dock, that looks like a samp has super powers.
It stores unlimited archives of Mail back to years and years ago.
It Indexes emails by Date, Subject, sender, Content and more.
It has data detectors that let you create events from dates mentioned in emails.
It detects addresses in emails and lets you Map them with a single click.
It associates the sender with your Address Book entry for them so you can see their picture, Birthday, Spouse and any Notes you need.
It allows you to create Notes or To-Do items from lines, words or any content inside an email, these To-Do’s go straight into iCal to give you reminders.
This is just the highlights of Mail that I find useful, for more on Mail, there’s Apple’s Page:
and a wonderful Blog:
