Xobni (Inbox backwards) no longer invite-only - currently my favorite Outlook plugin
I can't say enough good things about this Outlook plugin. I even demoed it to the Windows Search v4 team at the Microsoft MVP Summit a few weeks ago and told them, "Make Windows Search do this!"
Originally introduced to me by my manager and another coworker, Xobni is finally available to everyone to download and install.
If you tried Xobni in the past and had performance problems in Outlook afterwards, that bug was fixed a few builds ago. If you don't know what Xobni is, read the press release here.
It is actually one of the only add-ins I use in Outlook. I normally avoid them. I love the analytics built into the interface and how it can pull phone numbers out of e-mail messages. I also like the fact that it keeps track of file attachments I have sent and received, per person.
Fun fact: Bill Gates uses it.
Note: This isn't a paid endorsement, but if they want to send me some coin, I'll gladly accept it.

I've installed it. Seems cool but will I use it long term? I dunno. It definitely has slowed down my Outlook session at times and I prefer not to use cache - on a fast network it can be a waste of time. What MSFT needs to do in a really good indexer on the backend and let addins access it in any way they see fit.
