&lt;p&gt;I was recently introduced to a productivity tool that is among the most useful that I have ever experienced.&amp;nbsp;It is called XOBNI and it solves problems that are very common to Outlook users, especially those that get hundreds of E-Mails a day.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many Outlook problems stem from the sheer volume of E-Mail.&amp;nbsp;Personally, I receive well over 500 E-Mails per day, &amp;frac14; of which I must actually deal with or at least keep in case I need them later.&amp;nbsp;Many come as a result of my rather &lt;a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/mikeoneil"&gt;robust LinkedIn Profile&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Enter XOBNI (Inbox spelled backwards), a FREE Outlook plug-in.&amp;nbsp;After just a short while, I cannot see how I ever got by without it.&amp;nbsp;It reminds me of another Outlook plug-in tool called Lookout (Outlook ~ Lookout, see the similarities) that Microsoft bought and put to sleep several years ago.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These problems might sound familiar:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;On the E-Mail Front&lt;/b&gt; - You get an E-Mail that you must retain for whatever reason, so you move it to a folder.&amp;nbsp;The day comes when you need it and you either spend a huge amount of time finding it or you can&amp;rsquo;t find it at all.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;On the Attachment Front&lt;/b&gt; - You need that file you were sent, maybe you were even sent multiple versions of the file.&amp;nbsp;Like the E-Mails, you hunt for it and may or may not find it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;On the Topic Front&lt;/b&gt; - Someone sends you an E-Mail about a topic (e.g. a &lt;a href="http://www.integratedalliances.com/Public/Events/SocialNet/index.cfm"&gt;SocialNet event&lt;/a&gt; or a &lt;a href="http://www.integratedalliances.com/Public/Events/LinkedInLive/index.cfm"&gt;LinkedIn Live event&lt;/a&gt;) and you can&amp;rsquo;t recall who it was, much less where you put it.&amp;nbsp;Heck, it may have even come from an address like &lt;u&gt;FRL2007@gmail.com&lt;/u&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;On the Calendar Front&lt;/b&gt; &amp;ndash; You need to schedule a meeting and must match up schedules with another. &amp;nbsp;You go back and forth with them to find a mutual time that works, wasting time that is better spent on something more important than scheduling.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;XOBNI solves all of these issues and a lot more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;On the E-Mail Front&lt;/b&gt; &amp;ndash; XOBNI displays ALL of your E-Mail&amp;rsquo;s to/from an individual, no matter where you tuck them away.&amp;nbsp;Just start typing their name and matches appear dynamically.&amp;nbsp;Click on the name and see all the E-Mails to/from them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;On the Attachment Front&lt;/b&gt; &amp;ndash; Every attachment sent or received from that individual (e.g. that &lt;a href="http://www.integratedalliances.com/Public/Home/SERVICES/ManagedServices/index.cfm"&gt;LinkedIn Managed Services&lt;/a&gt; document) is displayed and you can simply click on it to open it.&amp;nbsp;It is like an index for attachments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;On the Topic Front &amp;ndash; &lt;/b&gt;Just type any word contained in the E-Mail (e.g. &lt;a href="http://www.integratedalliances.com/Public/Home/LOCATIONS/Charlotte/index.cfm"&gt;expansion to the Charlotte market&lt;/a&gt;), even a part of a word (Char), and all matching E-Mails are listed.&amp;nbsp;Refine the list by adding other words, separated by the word &amp;ldquo;AND&amp;rdquo;, just like the &amp;ldquo;AND&amp;rdquo; in LinkedIn&amp;rsquo;s Keyword Search.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;On the Calendar Front&lt;/b&gt; &amp;ndash; Click on any E-Mail from the individual you want to schedule with, then click on the &amp;ldquo;Schedule a time with _______&amp;rdquo; button and a pre-addressed E-Mail appears that lists your open times in the coming week.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I save 2-3 hours a week, sometimes more, with XOBNI.&amp;nbsp;Frustration level goes down, available business time goes up, customer service levels improve and everyone is happier and more effective.&amp;nbsp;See more and download this FREE product at &lt;a href="www.XOBNI.com"&gt;www.XOBNI.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Interested in how this is technically possible? &amp;nbsp;XOBNI uses a special technology called an API (Application Programming Interface) to talk directly to the core of Outlook just as if it were PART of Outlook.&amp;nbsp;LinkedIn has a similar capability and that is PART 2 of this series on &lt;b&gt;XOBNI&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</Description>
