We just released version 1.5.1 of the Plaxo Outlook and Outlook Express plugin. This release contains some new features as well as numerous bug fixes and performance enhancements.
Some noteworthy changes:
- new "Build Your Address Book" wizard, a power-user feature to automatically add people to your address book that you e-mail frequently
- improved installer is more firewall-friendly and can detect and fix many common installation problems
- you can now send update request e-mails from any of your validated e-mail addresses (previously you could only send from your primary e-mail address)
- Enhanced user interface for synchronization progress dialog and preferences dialog
- fixed a bug where some address data got hidden for outlook express users
- numerous minor bug fixes (many pointed out to us by our users!)
To get the latest version of Plaxo, go to http://www.plaxo.com/downloads and click "Download Plaxo Now". Please post comments if you experience any problems.
Thanks,
The Plaxo Team

Thanks for the great feedback!
Yes, we are building an API right now so we or other developers can add Plaxo support to other programs, and yes we want to support other programs. See our earlier posting on Esther Dyson for more information:

Plaxo is awesome; it helps me and my friends keep all of our address books up-to-date and with everyone moving around after college it makes it super easy.
However, a bunch of us use would prefer to use a non-standard environment (i.e. a mail program other than outlook and outlook express). Are you planning to create plugins for eudora? netscape mail? Or an API to allow users to develop an address book plugin for these and other web based e-mail programs?
Thanks!
