A product I love: Lookout

My Microsoft Outlook inbox is where most records of my professional history reside.

Thanks to a tip from software savant Marc Orchant, I've come to love Lookout, an incredibly handy tool that plugs in to Outlook and helps me find within seconds any obscure piece of data buried deep within my multitudinous email folders.

Compared to Outlook's built-in search engine, Lookout is the Google of email inboxes.

Ben - thanks for the promotion ;^)

I think "savant" trumps "guru", right?

Lookout is a terrific tool and one that it's easy to get evangelical about. Great product, great support, and a real solution to a pervasive problem - that's a recipe for success!

Savant is like a royal flush to a guru's full boat: it wins every time.

Hey
Lookout was really a great product, but unfortunatley it isn´t developed! So I think the situation changed and we have to change to other products, because everything is developing just lookout doesn´t!
One other product I can really recommend is Lookeen (www.lookeen.net)
Its so similar to Lookout and easy so that it is the perfect successor for all who work with Outlook 07 or Vista or just want to work with an developed product!
