Free Idea For Google Desktop

Oct 18, 2004 tools suggest edit

Allow users to configure Google Desktop to search their GMail accounts. Most of my personal email isn’t going to be in Outlook. It’ll be in my web-based accounts.

I read in a newspaper (Seattle times, October 19, 2004) that Google Desktop archives and can search web-based e-mail (I assume this includes G-mail). The article made the point that one should be careful to use a public computer (library, internet cafe) with Google Desktop search installed as the next user could then read the web-based e-mail sent by the prior user.

As far as I know, it searches pages you view while online by caching a copy of all your visited web pages. So it won't work if I read a web based email at work and then search it at home.

Also, that is a setting you can disable.
