It is ugly and I have a hard time opening it and leaving it up. It looks so 1995-ish that it appears out-of-place on my desktop (kinda like the Google Sidebar did and one of the main reasons it didn't last on my computer). I am slightly embarrased to admit that looks matter more than usefulness to me, but as a person who downloaded a skin for del.icio.us, I know that this is a flaw of mine and I compensate... Snarf wasn't all that useful anyway. I tried Snarf. It is ugly and I have a hard time opening it and leaving it up.

ClearContext Inbox Manager for Microsoft Outlook is an add-in that prioritizes email on various characteristics, including sender, and provides tools for automatically categorizing and filing messages. For a comparison to SNARF, see our weblog post: http://blog.clearcontext.com/2005/12/microsoft_resea.html If you are interested in checking us out, I would love to hear your thoughts on the product.
