Thanks for trying to try Xobni :) Sorry you're having trouble with the "admin rights" issue. Right now it is indeed a requirement for Xobni and Xobni Plus. However we are looking into this soon. In the meantime, you can also show Xobni Enterprise http://www.xobni.com/enterprise to your IT administrator. Perhaps he or she will work with you to try it out.

That's what we like to hear! Thanks for getting us fired up and thanks for using Xobni.

Hi Mark and David,
The latest version addresses your problem (#2) above regarding a screen coming up each time you start Outlook. Looks like David already got it. Mark -- make sure to go to http://www.xobni.com/download and grab your copy. Thank you for waiting.

A comment on the idea "Timebased contact history for more data sources (phone, SMS, etc)" in Xobni:

Thank you. Yes, we are working on more and more data sources. Today it's email messages, attachments, and appointments. You can also integrate with Salesforce now to see Salesforce data. We will do more in the future. If you have special CRM systems at your company, you can look at http://www.xobni.com/enterprise and work with a developer to make an extension for your own systems. – Josh Jacobson, on November 18, 2009 23:15

A comment on the idea "Show Embedded Attachments in the Files Exchanged area (Rich Text emails)" in Xobni:

I'm sure we can; we'll spend some more time looking at this in more detail and may have some follow up questions in the future. – Josh Jacobson, on November 18, 2009 20:20

Hi, thanks for the idea. What do you mean "contact history?" Do you mean the contact details like email addresses and phone numbers?

Josh Jacobson replied on November 17, 2009 02:06 to the idea "Group emails using a function of the subject" in Xobni:

Hi Wnatter,

If you did a subject search in Xobni Plus, this should work. You could type in:

subject:435TE

(where 435TE would be your ticket number)

Is that what you are looking for? Or are you talking about the conversation groupings below the "conversations" area of a person's profile?

In that case, we would need to work on the algorithm a bit. If you can give me some more examples of subjects that you would want grouped, I could look into it further.

Thanks!

Great catch; we made some website changes recently and this was an inadvertent change. We've already got a new page in testing right now that will bring the support link back to its rightful place! This should be up next week.

Thanks for your eagle eyes and for extensive help with Xobni.

Josh Jacobson replied on November 13, 2009 03:03 to the idea "Highlight message when returning to the search results window" in Xobni:

Thanks all for the great suggestion.

FYI, we do this in a very subtle way right now. I know it's too subtle to serve your needs, but just wanted you to be aware of it. Any message that you have visited from that particular search result will have a grey subject line instead of a black subject line. We can be much more obvious about this in the future, of course.

Josh Jacobson posted an update in Xobni on November 11, 2009 05:35:

Bug fix update available for Xobni and Xobni Plus (1.8.3 build 8997)

Working together with our dedicated and helpful user community (that's you), we have uncovered and fixed two issues in Xobni 1.8.

Xobni 1.8.3 build 8997 is a minor bug fix release and is recommended for anyone experiencing the issues below. It is available now at http://www.xobni.com/download/latest, and includes the following changes since builds 8559 and 8734:

1) Crash Fixes for Some Plug-in Conflicts

If you have been experiencing any crashing in Outlook after installing Xobni, please try this build. We have focused on resolving conflicts with other Outlook plug-ins, including Symantec Enterprise Vault. Thanks to “Gemster,” Mike Maccana, Ralf Vissers and many others for helping us identify and test this fix via our support community.

2) First-run startup screen now only happens on first run

For a handful of new Xobni 1.8 users, a “Welcome to Xobni 1.8; now with Xobni Plus!” screen was appearing every time they started Outlook. Wow, that was annoying... and completely unintentional. This is fixed. Thanks to Jay Johnson and others for reporting this issue.
