I love this handy utility but have a few caveats about it. Let\u2019s start off by saying I have a mailbox on a busy server with about 500,000 e-mails on it and I receive up to or more than 1,000 e-mails daily. I live in Outlook so I need a powerful search utility.<\/p>\n<p>I used <\/font><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lookoutsoft.com\/Lookout\/download.html\"><font size=\"2\">LookOut<\/font><\/a><font size=\"2\"> for over a year and it was very helpful. Recently it started crashing often so I switched to <\/font><a href=\"http:\/\/desktop.google.com\/about.html\"><font size=\"2\">Google desktop search<\/font><\/a><font size=\"2\">. Google has a great product but the interface is lousy. I am in Outlook and have to go to a browser to get access to Google\u2019s results.<\/p>\n<p>What SER does that the others don\u2019t is they return the results of your query in Outlook. You can use a viewing pane to sift through results. Both Google and LookOut require you to open the e-mails to achieve the same effect.<\/p>\n<p>The one drawback is speed. The software runs too slow on my machine to be the only search mechanism I have. The reason is it autoupdates frequently on my machine. This could just be my machine \u2013 I am investigating this mystery.<\/p>\n<p>The company has been great about supporting me but my schedule has been too hectic to get back to them about whether there is a setting I can modify to make the product work better on my PC.<\/p>\n<p>Searching in Outlook is a nightmare and SERoutlookAccess has the makings of a killer e-mail companion. If the speed can be improved, it will be a necessary requirement on every desktop. The company offers a 30-day trial and after that the price is $99 with the potential for lower pricing in volume. Is it worth it? If you live in Outlook and it runs quickly on your machine, spend the money. It is indispensable.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Probably the best product around that no one knows about is SERoutlookAccess.
