Lookout v1.2 - Super indexing and search available again [was Re: Outlook plugin for email archive i

[BillR]

Hi all,

does anyone know of a freeware alternative to Lookout
http://www.lookoutsoft.com/ a plugin for Outlook that speeds up searching
through old emails?

LookOut searches more than just old email. It will "quickly search all
of your e-mail, contacts, calendar, and filesystem."

Supposedly so impressive that Microsoft bought Lookout Software,
whereupon the software disappeared. Due to public demand (i.e.,
complaints?), Microsoft is offering Lookout for download. Gizmo of
TechSupportAlert says "It finds email within Outlook almost instantly
and I'd rate it as just as good as Enfish. Go get it while it's free."

System Requirements
Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP
Microsoft Outlook 2000, Outlook XP, or Outlook 2003
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1

MS says "this is an unsupported tool"!
