Giving Xobni A Second Chance

without comments

In the past I was an enthusiastic Xobni user and a beta tester. But then I found out that enough is enough.  Uninstalled and lived my life with Microsoft search. Kinda worked. Today, Matt Brezina the founder of Xobni “contacted” me and informed me that version 1.7 is now out of beta, “telling” me that I should give it a try.  So I did.

After 5 restarts of outlook, one crash and lots of minutes crossing fingers while the outlook was not responding, it looks like working now. Faster than before.  

FWIW, Xobni includes some refreshing ideas and scores very high for usability (one example below)
