Clear Context can be best described as an inbox management plugin for Microsoft Outlook. It’s main functionality can be divided into three key areas: Email management, attachment management and managing the inbox or other folders of Outlook.

The email management functionality is all about organizing the inbox and filing email messages. Clear Context provides filing suggestions, one click filing possibilities, highlighting of the most important messages and a threaded email conversation view.

Attachment management on the other hand makes it possible to view all images and attachments from a selected folder without having to browse through individual emails to find a specific attachment. This does give the user a chance to save multiple attachments found in multiple emails at once.

A notification manager can be used to move so called notification emails (like new Twitter followers or Facebook friend requests) from the inbox into other folders to unclutter the inbox.

Clear Context is installed as the pro version. It will revert to the personal version automatically after 30 days. Users who do not want to wait that long can go into ClearContext > about and enter the registraion username and key personalv4 to enable the personal edition right away after installation.

Reply All With Attachments is a specialized plugin for Microsoft Outlook that has been designed for users who regularly include attachments that were attached to email messages that they received. The add-on has been tested with Outlook 2007 but chance is that it will also function with previous and future versions of the email client.

It has a few additional requirements especially the VSTO 4.0 runtime. The Reply All With Attachments plugin can then be installed by double-clicking the downloaded file. Users should ensure that Outlook is closed during the installation. A new entry called reply all with attachments should appear under the custom actions button in the main Microsoft Outlook menu.

A click on the new entry will automatically open a new email with all attachments of the original email attached. All recipients that have been listed in the original email will also be added as recipients in the new email. Reply All With Attachments is available at the developer’s homepage.

Xobni adds lots of functions to the Outlook sidebar, all of them are contact related. You see statistics about each contact, when and how often he send you mails, phone numbers found in signatures and mail bodies, people connected to that person, details about those people, a conversation history and quick access to email attachments of that person.

It is currently in closed Beta but Richard has some invites that he is giving away so check out his blog and the article if you are interested in this Beta. It is also possible to leave your email address and the developers will contact you once you have been accepted into the Beta.

I’m not sure if I receive invites as well but if I do I let you know asap.
