Xobni can search for contacts in some of the popular social networking sites like LinkedIn, Facebook, Hoovers, Skype, and Yahoo. This Outlook Add-on integrates itself into Outlook’s interface as an easily accessible sidebar panel on the right side.

Threaded Conversations is one of the convenient features offered by Xobni. Emails are threaded based on their subject and chronologically ordered. Xobni has some powerful features for managing attachments including finding attachments by person, filtering attachment search results by keywords, displaying the most recent version of the attachment on top etc.
