Xobni is definitely a powerful Outlook-searching tool. The Plaxo plugins are useful if you're a contact-centric person and want to sync your data. I just found Pandali Folder Master which lets me select several Outlook folders at once to move them around.

I'm looking for a way to preset information and insert that into shared calendars. Something where I could check boxes for standard stuff so we don't have to write out a bunch of basic info.

I just wanted to give the author a heads up – apparently Boxbe has taken up spamming in order to promote their anti-spam product. I and several people I know have received unsolicited emails advertising their product. When you sign up for Boxbe, they’re going to be spamming all of your contacts. You can read more about it (this is not my blog) here: http://saunderslog.com/2008/04/22/boxbes-spam-a-fatal-mistake-for-them-and-me/

Another good add-on is NXS-7′s Task Analytics http://task-analytics.com
You can do more with your to-do lists.

Anyone know of a simple way to add additional choices to the Snooze drop-down list. Like it goes from 1,2,3,4 days to 1,2 weeks. I would like to add 5,6 days (in addition to other hours, etc.). Thanks in advance!

I tried all 3 and let me confess – all of them are massively impressive. Well, I didn’t like Sendshield too much but it still is quite useful for a few. I am impressed with the ClearContext – Boxbe combo and I am thinking of implementing it for one of the perennial problems in my org – inbox management and tracking of activities distributed to various colleages. Actually I want a system wherein all mails sent to a central email id are captured by the system and the administrator then assigns part of work to various collegues – then the admin collates the responses sent by each of these and finally sends the consolidated response to the original sender. Can someone help me build this type of system?

Yeah – agreed. http://www.outlooktrackit.com/ is my savior right now. it expanded everything, and in general, made outlook more appealing to me. Now I don’t have to go to different sources, everything is kinda just there now!

I have installed a dozen great plugins of which Xobni is one of them. I also built my own when the David Allen Getting Things Done Addin didn't do the job. It's a very simple improvement to Outlooks follow-up and reminders called Outlook Trackit.
