Outlook 2010 Support for Xobni? Yes! Fully Supported in both 32-bit and 64-bit.

Just grabbed the Office 2010 installer from MS but don't want to install on my primary PC if it kills Xobni. Any braver souls out there that have tried it? All Xobni team says is that they will test it soon... =P

Office 2010 - everything is fine, except the fact that the sidebar is not visible. I thinks this is somehow of a minor...if there is anyway to fix that, I would be glad!! If there are alphas, I am in as well.

Office 2010 - no sidebar.

I dunno what you guys did but I cannot see Xobni anywhere in my Outlook 2010 TP (running on W7 x64)...

PS: why the hell this PoS rebranded-getsatifaction forum does NOT carry over my logged in getsatisfaction.com session?

What a truly idiotic, pointless rebranding it is...

I'm running Windows 7 x64 and Outlook 2010 x64, and the latest Xobni installation doesn't even appear in the list of add-ins, as far as I can tell. But I'm all up for alpha testing once it does!

As you should have noticed by now, unless you're running x64 plug-ins for Outlook (Office in general), they won't work. As Office 2010 is the FIRST VERSION of Office that offers an x64 version and it's not even released yet (Technical Preview is VERY EARLY, STABLE BUT STILL VERY EARLY) there are no x64 add-ons. Hopefully in the near future Xobni will have x64 BETA testing available...

I am using the Office 2010 Technical review, Windows 7 with the latest build of Xobni. It is working but overlapping the emails. Auto-suggest is overlapping also with outlook suggestions. Plugin get disabled on its own sometimes.

Only issue I can add to Emad's summary is the option selection from the Xobni pane doesn't work but it does from the Outlook Add-In ribbon menu. I find Xobni works with Office 2010 and look forward to testing the alpha.

I understand the 2010 is beta, but as you can see, your most passionate users are also passionate about Outlook. Please see what you can do about providing betas, or workarounds for Outlook 2010.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to use Xobni in several months. Luckly I've gotten used to not having it, and now don't miss it much.

I have to agree with Daivd, I have bought the Plus and started using it. now after upgrading to the office Beta i can no longer use Xobni and I am afraid I am getting used to that already.

And while I understand that keeping up with new app versions from a compatibility stantpoint is a challenge; the main reason I ever used Xobni was that I got turned onto it in beta, used it with my Outlook at the time and it provided some really cool features. Now the shoe is on the other foot; I'm testing some really cool Outlook enhancements, but my poor Xobni is left in the dust...

I also tested Xobni with Outlook 2010 Technical Preview and only way it worked was when I upgraded from Outlook 2007 with Xobni already installed. I'm not sure if this is work for other users too but for me it is working.

I don't believe the upgrade process would work from 2007 to 2010 x64 version as I think this must be a fresh install.

This is indeed the case as I tried to upgrade from x32 2007 to x64 2010 beta. So after I uninstalled 2007 and then installed x64 2010, I then installed xobni and it does not appear in the list of add-ons. x64 is needed here.

for me it appear in list but the sidbar is not shown :(

Update! Outlook 2010 BETA came out yesterday (for Tech Preview folks). I downloaded and installed (even went x86 instead of the better x64 option in hopes of getting Xobni to work properly)... Unfortunately it still doesn't work right. Still overshadowing my email content... Bummer... Time to uninstall it again...

Interesting additional note on Outlook 2010 beta; http://officebeta.microsoft.com/en-us...

Great article and also a great comment that the 2010 beta should work with Xobni.

Really wish it supported Outlook 2010. Makes me frustrated to think that MS is ahead of Xobni.

I forgot to mention that I upgraded 32-bit Office 2007 to 32-bit Beta of Office 2010 and Xobni worked.

Here is my experience as of yesterday (11/23/09). I had installed 64-bit office 2010 beta on W7 Professional, Xobni did not seem to work. Then I read somewhere on these posts that it only works on 32-bit version, so I uninstalled 64-bit and installed 32-bit office 2010 beta. I reinstalled xobni, and after a reboot, and giving outlook some time to index, closing and reopening, xobni seemed to come to life. the only hitch was what others have complained about - that of the sidebar running over the reading pane. One solution I've found is to click on the bottom of the reading pane to open up outlook's social network add-in then to minimize it, which seems to put everything in their proper place. I'm certain the folks at xobni will deal with this soon but it's not a bad solution considering we're all playing with a beta version of outlook.

I am guessing from what I am reading that the 64-bit version has not worked for anyone, correct? I am about to install on Win 7 64-bit, office 2010 64-bit. I will miss Xobni and hope a alpha out to test soon.

okay:
the sidebar will be shown if the "Lesebereich" (dont know how its called in english:)) is "right".



if its "off", the sidebar is hidden or if you uncheck/check the sidebar option under "Addins->Xobni" its only half-length:



The problem: i dont use that "Lesebereich" for security reason, so the sidebardoes not work proper for me.

I've tried reading pane options also, but as soon as you navigate to Calendar or other Outlook area and back to Inbox, the email reading pane is partially hidden by Xobni. I agree that clicking the bottom (new Outlook Social Network Updates) upper bar of area works also, but is temporary at best. The best workaround I've found is just keeping Xobni minimized, which hopefully only covers a bit of the email viewing screen (or disabling Xobni totally)...

Already Disabled Xobni,
Now I can only use LOOKOUT to search my Email.

Hope we can use Xobni in Outlook 2010 , Do not let us to wait till 2012~

Come on guys, if you have not got something in the bag by now, I am getting worried, you must have some improvements for us to try. May be there is a startup in stealth mode just waiting to pounce! it has been a while since we have seen an update

I agree with Alan. I was just about to write that myself. Being as XOBNI is a product SPECIFICALLY to work with OUTLOOK, I am a little frustrated that you guys are not as "on it" for Outlook 2010 as you really need to be.

dear sir/Ms.,

after dl and installing the new office 2010 beta - i realize that xobni pane does not integrate well with outlook. can it be fixed ?


tks

integration with office 2010 suit - beta.

I'll hang in there. I just keep Xobni minimized most of the time (hopefully only covering a few characters on each/every email line) in the meantime. I do occasionally use it to do a deep search of my email and it's much better than what Outlook does on its own.

I had a support ticket but we exhausted our digging regarding unsupported Microsoft Outlook 2010 Beta. Since then, I crashed my Windows 7 so completely that I got stuck in Startup Repair.SOMEHOW since that hair raising experience, xobni has worked perfectly and COMPLETETLY and AFAIK 100% the same as in Outlook 2007. I advise no one to duplicate my adventure (hint: don't power off repeatedly in a laptop as it switches from bios level towasrds the first windows splash screen...BAD THINGS LURK THERE!). Just thought you'd like to know...xobni itself can handle the beta just fine, there is something in the startup (registry read?) that may scramble how it hooks to Beta 2010 in some cases./..and some rather catastrophic experiences can, if recoverable, get rid of that as a side affect of restore on the OS itself....

XOBNI and MS OFFICE 2010.

I installed the latest Office 2010 Beta and tried to install Xobni. The installation goes through but no add in is showing in Outlook.


In the technical preview it worked, but in the Beta 2 it stopped working there. I assume Outlook is changing the way addins are integrated.


I know you are still not supporting the beta outlook, but I though i will just report this.

Outlook 2010 Beta 2 and Xobni not working.

Hopefully you will release a beta version of Xobni for Outlook 2010 64bit soon. I recently began beta testing Office Professional 2010 to obtain the 64 bit version. I'm a huge fan of Xobni Plus and looking forward to it's release for the upcoming version of Outlook 2010. Thanks.

Xobni Plus Rocks! But Rocks harder with Outlook 2010 version!.

Sometimes xobni works on win 7 64home premium outlook 2010 beta. When not, if I close outlook window(s) and if present in windows right-bottom-of-screen display of icons of running background stuff (whatever that' called, I don't know), select the outlook icon there (which is present to tell me 'another program is using outlook) and Exit, and restart outlook, loh! it works. Its been a nember of reboots since I discovered this apparent set of facts, and so far, so good, as\far as a fully-functioning xobni goes. The only perversity remaining is that, on my outlook beta, the tools on the add-ins tab work strangely, or not at all. But so long as\ the add-ins in question are working the wauy I want, all this seems to be, is that there is no expectation that the addins should work..although xobni and message save both do work...hope this helps someone :)

WAIT!!!!!! Xobni build 9142 (which I just updated to, in a last ditch effort before uninstalling and abandoning until support came for Outlook 2010 x86 version). IT WORKS!!!!!! It looks great, holds its shape on the right side of my Outlook pane, even when shifting back and forth from calendar to inbox, IT JUST WORKS!!! DAMN FINE JOB, XOBNI!!!

Man you got me going there for a sec, I installed that build on my Outlook 2010 x64 install but no joy.

I downgraded my Office 2010 TP x64 (uninstalled) to Office 2010 Beta x86 when it came out (in hopes of getting plug-in support faster). So, as you've found out (which I would have imagined), still no joy on x64, but there is x86 bliss.....

Just installed, Seems to be working fine on 2010 x86 sofar, well done guys look forward to more updates.

I have been testing and using the current release, I haven't had any significant issues. The only one I have identified is the application doesn't interact correctly with the reading pane anymore.

Ditto to RightSizeIT. Sole noteable exception: reader pabe up/down slider for (unopened) email is hidden by xobni. AFAIK rest of behavior of both Outlook 64 Beta and Xobni 9142 as supposed to be. :)

I'm running office 2010 and cannot get xobni to show in sidebar. is there anything i can do other than going back to 2007 - are you still working on updating to 2010

I need Xobni with outlook 2010.

sometimes if one goes in to outlook xobni is absent & reopening outllok helps not. in such cases 2010 File > options > add-inns > comm > go > uncheck xobni, close outlook, repeast only check xobni, does work. so far some method of 'reawakening' the links into outlook has ALWAYS worked at least for me. win 7 64 home premium / latest xobni / outlook 2010 32 beta

any news on where the will be a fully Outlook 2010 beta compatible release?

Keeping with the geek testers....

I find lots of references to Xobni betas in this 5 month old post. Office 2010 is slated for June 2010 but I would guess a large portion of your Plus users, like myself, are already on the Beta. Do I really have to wait 7 months for support?

To your credit your 9142 build is working fairly well in x32 after chainging reading pane to the right and a minimize of the To-Do-Bar. Reading pane will sometimes get unreadable, but a screen refresh is all it takes.

I'll even deal with beta pain if needed.
Vista ultimate x32 office 2010 x32 laptop
Win7 ultimate x64 office 2010 x64 destop

Guys, I'm in the same boat , I really, really want this issue addressed.

However, for those of you demanding support and lamenting what is seen as slow progress I think you are being somewhat unreasonable. Google and others have redefined the word Beta through their practices of making beta incredibly close to production and prolonging the beta period while millions of users (in the case of gmail) do their UAT.

Try getting support for Outlook 2010 out of Microsoft and you will get a far more curt answer than the Xobni chaps have been offering. If Xobni have a product ready for June of next year they will have met all reasonable expectations. Anything before then is a bonus for we, the early adopters.

EIRIK OEYO et al: as I noted earlier I find it WORKS NOW with 1 finagle and 1 exception. Finagle: if not open with 2010 outlook beta\32 n win 7 home premium 64: FILE > OPTIONS > ADD-INS >GO, then uncheck Xobni; repeat, only check it; it works. Exception: in reading pane, for the selected message itself (not the pane as a whole), the right-margin up/down scroll bar appears to be hidden under xonbni. So, maybe not much needs to be tinkered with in that particular enviornment...

Xobni is working for me on Office 2010 when I installed it a few months ago running BETA version of MS! and still running fine!

Is there some sort of mailing list that I can add my name to to get a notification of when xobni will work in outlook 2010 x64? Even in a testing or beta format?

yes please Tyler! the link in the prev post didn't surface your email...

Hello Xobni team,


I am officially beta testing MS Office 2010 and would like to test Xobni with it. If oyu guys are also running a beta for next version of Xobni,


I'd like to to be a part of Xobni beta, and help you find bugs and add more innovative feature to it.


Thanks,

I'd like to to be a part of Xobni beta too

Count me in as well - I want to Alpha Test

Count me in also.
I am an experienced software guy and while I have avoided non production software for a while I like Xobni enough to want to do it again.

Also interested in the test.

Been waiting a while for this to happen. Would also like to have a closer look at this release. I'm an experienced beta tester and are doing beta testing for several major sw vendors.

When can i get xobni for outlook 2010???

All,
Please stop adding comments that you'd like to be part of the product testing group. As Tyler called out in a previous thread, you need to EMAIL him at his hotmail address in order to get into the test (not simply comment on this topic).

Thanks

The address was removed so we can't email him and and Get Satisfaction doesn't offer a way to contact him, that is why I said let us know where to sign up.

Add me to Xobni for outlook 64-bit version as well.

Tyler,
Any ETA on when the alpha testing will begin?
I don't see any updates/downloads on the alpha forum.

Thanks

Hi Tyler,

Can you add me the info to download the Outlook 2010 64-bit alpha/beta? Thanks. :)

Is it possible to disable the autosuggest of email address when creating a new message - either from Outlook 2010 or Xobni? I see a reference to autosuggest in the comments above but it doesn't say if this is specifically the item I am referring to? Thank.

Xobni general tab, uncheck "Aurosuggest email addresses in the to, cc and bcc fields."
I was having issues with Outlook 2010 trying to autosuggest with Xobni. Works for me now.
Mike

Thank you NetBob!

Twice since I have installed 2010 Xobni has been unable to find a message - giving me the item not found. Outlook is telling me that it still has items to index so I don't know if this is related? Thanks

March 30, 2010, 5:55 AM. "Hi Miller54jesus -- thanks for the question. That's right, we are not yet ready to recommend that you run Xobni with the Outlook 2010 64-bit beta yet, but we will certainly support it when it is released for sale to the public, if not before."

My question: (1) Has anything changed since his question was answered a month ago?
(2) When I went to download Xobni, there was NO indication the program wouldn't work with 2010 64. Seems to me this is an important piece of information, and I'm puzzled as to its absence. Consequently, I spent too much time trying to figure out why Xobni wouldn't install--time I lost as a direct result of insufficient information from Xobni in the first place!

Suggestion to all users: Include the date and time in your comments. "19 hours ago", "a month ago", etc. doesn't give a good time line sequence. Our trouble ticket system at work would NEVER use such ambiguous phrases.

slick!

2010 final i mean

Josh, is the 64 bit version out yet?
