For instance, I needed an e-mail address today which I knew had been in the CC line on a message way back when. It only took a couple of minutes to sift through the related messages to find the address I needed, even though I couldn’t remember the person’s name.

The analytics features are also very powerful. A few examples of how you can use them:
–Determine the responsiveness of an individual or organization you work with.
–Analyze messages by subject line and response time to see what tends to get the quickest response.
–Search unique senders to find an e-mail address. You can even sort, filter, and drill down by various characteristics (e.g. recipient type).
–Analyze your own responsiveness in regards to certain people or projects. This can be useful when deciding what to “prune”.

It’s true that it doesn’t search every type of Outlook item, so I still find myself turning to MS Desktop Search, though less and less often these days.

My one complaint would be that it does bog down your Outlook, so you have to be prepared to sacrifice a bit of performance.
