by Meaghan Ringwelski on August 18, 2009

We gathered some useful and free Outlook Plug-ins for you.  They will save you time and help you improve your efficiency…

Xobni

Xobni is a free Outlook plug-in that makes searching and finding people and email faster and easier. It also let’s you organize your contacts automatically by company, title and more… The part I like the most about Xobni is that it gives you statistics about your contacts, like how many LinkedIn connections they have, how many emails you sent them, and so on. There’s also a full set of Xobni Analytics which gathers information about your email giving you lots of useful statistics. Give it a shot, you may like it.

Missing Attachment

Have you ever forgotten to include an attachment to an important email? I often do.  This free application called Missing Attachment is designed avoid this needless embarrassment and helping you save time. All you have to do is adding alert words, such ‘attachment’ or ‘file’.

Sender’s Time Zone

If you are working and emailing contacts in multiple time zones, or different countries or continents, then you definitely need Sender’s Time Zone. If you open a message in Outlook, the plug-in shows the local time of the sender, difference from your time zone, as well as the time since the message was sent.
