Have You Tried Xobni?
Xobni - it’s inbox backwards. It’s some kind of email management add-on for Outlook. It seems to have some compelling features like showing a profile of your email interactions with people and automatically extracting phone numbers from emails.
I was a loyal Lookout user for searching in Outlook 2003. Outlook 2007 has better search so I haven’t felt the same pain, but apparently this add-on improves on OL2007 search.
I’d tell you more about Xobni but it’s still in closed beta. Supposedly if you click on the Xobni badge below, they’ll bump me up to the top of the beta invitation list:

You can get Lookout to work with Outlook 2007! Leon Zandman has created a patch that makes it work again:

There is a follower of Lookout! It’s called Lookeen - take a look:

It’s very similar but it works with Vista and Outlook 2007. In my opinion a good solution for everybody who misses Lookout…
