Xobni Analytics and ClearContext IMS

Over the last few weeks, some interesting beta software has gotten the attention of Exchange and Outlook folks. These are snap-ins to Outlook that help you to analyze and organize your e-mail. The first of these is Xobni Analytics (shown in the graphic). If people wonder why it takes so long for you respond to their e-mails, well you can show them this.....





The other tool is called ClearContext IMS which helps you to better organize and categorize your e-mail plus helps you to see what e-mail senders have sent to you and the relationships between e-mail senders.

Both of these tools are pretty interesting, but I will warn you that Outlook will quickly begin consuming 150MB+ of RAM on your computer. Aaaahhhh, I can remember when you had to carry around 150MB of RAM with a foklift!

Distribution List / Mail Group manager

My partners in my Ithicos Solutions business have once again been discussing the possibility of developing a Mail Group manager. Interested in learning more? We are looking for feedback, too.

If you own or have read this book, I would like to hear from you. What should be added, removed, supplemented, improved, etc... in this book. Please contact me at jim (at) cta.net
