Create OR find an open source outlook 2003 addon/plugin 's that AUTOMATICALLY create and update appointments from incoming mail (Bonus tips)?

http://www.xobni.com I found it here: http://tinyurl.com/3xpcj3a It says: If you have been using Outlook for quite some time you may be stuck with tons and tons of emails which may be difficult to find when you want. Xobni (our favorite add-in) is a Outlook plug-in that helps you organize you emails and quickens your search for email and attachments. For those who think of the name as a bit weird, it is Inbox spelled backwards.

Xobni provides you with lots of features which include * Lightning fast email search. * Threaded Conversations. * Email Analytics.

* Quick attachment discovery. * Navigate your inbox by people. Blog * Extracts Phone numbers from emails and associates it with contacts.

* Helps you easily schedule appointments with your contacts. If I find anything else I think might help, I'll post it. UPDATE: Also on that page is Easy2Add.

Here's the program's page: http://tinyurl.com/27wuo9x "Easy2Add software and Gadget for Microsoft® Windows Vista® are free* and fastest way to create Microsoft Outlook events (appointments, meetings, all day events)tasks (to-do), new!
