Xobni beta - Outlook Mail indexer and organizer
Darwin:
Incidentally, I literally JUST updated to Office 2007 Enterprise (work provided the software - I', totally backed up in case I hate it) and I can confirm that the problem above re: Outlook shutdown doesn't affect 2007...
BigJim:
That's pretty interesting, Darwin. I've been experiencing most of what's been discussed above (running XP/SP2 with 1.4 Gb RAM, Outlook 2003) and although I, too, have found that I REALLY like many of Xobni's features I can't afford the resources cost or not being able to shut down Outlook cleanly.
Does your recent discovery imply that these other problems are 'fixable' if we can get the authors' attention? A little alarming that they might seem to have their heads in the sand! :(

I *hope* so... I've been following the forum discussion and I think that the developers are keen to get this sorted out. However, I uninstalled the version I was running last week (I miss the functionality of Xobni) for a variety of reasons. However, running Outlook 2007, while it breaks LookOut, works wonderfully with LookOut's successor Windows Desktop Search. I'm pretty happy with it, for now. Still, I'll be following Xobni's development
BigJim:
That's cool. I will be following this thread closely as well as the Xobni forum. I, too, had to uninstall it a couple of days ago. I couldn't cope with the memory leaks or not being able to close Outlook without rebooting. In fact, I had to do a "Detect and Repair" of Outlook to get it back to normal. Xobni certainly does do some useful stuff, though. I'm anxious to get it back! ;)
Armando:
[off-topic] Darwin : I'd be interested to know your opinion about WDS -- compared to Archivarius or X1 for instance -- mostly in terms of accurateness and resource consumption (but also in terms f file compatibility, size of index... if you checked that of course). Maybe in that thread ?[/off-topic]
