Gwabbit - a time-efficient tool for organizing your Outlook e-mail contacts
It is very time consuming to organize your Outlook e-mail contacts. Every time you receive an e-mail, you have to decide if you’ve updated the contact info already, and then manually type the text into your Outlook contacts. This may only take a few minutes to perform, but it takes your focus away from your task at hand, and adds up in tedious time lost with all of your data entry.
Gwabbit looks to solve this manual data entry boredom. Gwabbit is an Outlook plug-in that instantly adds a new contact 
with associated info. Here’s how it works. Gwabbit is a software that is installed. After the software installation, itresides at the top of your Outlook toolbar next to send/receive and other buttons. When a new e-mail comes in, Gwabbit automatically adds the contact, e-mail, address, phone number, etc. to 
your Outlook contacts list. If the contact is already in your list, it will look for any new info/updates and add accordingly. You can also decide if you want to manually change or approve edits.
The cool factor is how Gwabbit works. It uses algorithms to glean the information within the e-mail, producing efficient results. For instance, it will check the e-mail signature and info within the text of the e-mail to uncover the contact info, and then associate the text within the correct fields of Outlook.
The drawback is that you can only use Gwabbit for new e-mails. It won’t automatically grab all of your current / old e-mails. You can go back to grab old contacts, but only on an e-mail by e-mail selection. Further, if your anti-virus stamps every e-mail at the bottom of each incoming e-mail, this could fool Gwabbit into thinking this is your contact’s signature.
You may try a 14-day trial which allows up to 20 contacts, or splurge $20 for the full version. It is an easy program to install and does not take a tech guru to operate it.
