Ben's talked about, Marc's talked about it, and everyone who uses it seems to love it!

I'm talking about Lookout, the new search tool plugin for MS Outlook. For those of you who, like me, have emails saved back to 1996 in various archives, folders, PSTs, and everywhichwhere in Outlook, you know that finding that stuff is next to impossible.

Enter Lookout! Lookout is a simple plugin to Outlook that maintains a current index of everything in the program, allowing it to be searched at a moments notice, with results in seconds. It truly is the "Google" of email. (well, save for Gmail, but we won't go there)

Anyway, the program is free now, and comes in two versions - the stable release and the bleeding edge beta. I'm running the stable version and it's all that and then some.

The program will likely retail for about $30 when it's made public, which I'd gladly pay for this type of immediate access to all of my emails!

Check out Lookout.
