The document indexing is nice, but not nice enough to let some 3rd party hook into my gmail account.
A simple has:attachment label:labelname and some search text is good enough to find years old attachments for me.
- Tichy 16y agoI had a similar idea recently, although I was thinking mostly about images. But now that I see this, I also feel that I don't want to give away my email password. Actually so far I haven't even moved my emails over to GMail, still running my own server... What could be a solution to this problem? Would it work better as an app for Google App Engine, so that people could just install their own version of it?
