Fast Company | The Google of Email?:

"Bloomba is based on a search engine-style toolbar, rather than a hierarchical system of folders. The program has a familiar look: Outlook-like menus, and a top-line toolbar with familiar icons for send/receive, compose, delete, etc.--plus delete as spam, which handily tells the software to eliminate any future messages from the sender before they hit your inbox. Immediately below this row of icons, however, is a search toolbar that looks like the one on your Web browser. You use it the same way: Type in a keyword, hit return, and see what turns up."

This would be a holy grail for this email user. I have a notoriously full Inbox and am not a good filer, but always need to find stuff I've read before.

A quick review at http://StataLabs.com reveals that the product also searches attachments AND...big drum roll...includes 'RSS feed management' which would mean some sort of RSS aggregator (like Newsgator, Amphetadesk, NetNewsWire, Radio Userland) right in the product. These are some BIG features!

And yes, the abililty to use this with Outlook or along side Outlook or instead of Outlook (Calendar and Contacts are key) will make this a winner inside large corporations.
