Limitations of free version: Xobni users without the Plus option will only be able to index one PST file. They will however be able to choose which PST that is.

Performance Options

Index Scheduling

By default, Xobni will index all of your mail folders after you have been idle for a few

hours. If you come back to the computer when this is happening, sometimes it may take a

while for everything to become fast and responsive. Because of this, you may want to tell Xobni when to schedule its index. Pick a time when you can leave your computer on,

but you won't generally be using it.
