But that's one thing that was distinctive about GMail : it encourages you to keep (archive) everything - and searches it very quickly. Compare this to Outlook : Searching is painfully slow, and the instinctive way to use it is to delete emails rather than keep them.
- jodrellblank 15y agoCompare this to Outlook : Searching is painfully slow Outlook 2003 maybe, but that was eight years ago. Microsoft bought lookout and Outlook indexed search is pretty much instant.
- Retric 15y agoThat's BS, I use outlook 2010 and IMO Searching is still painfully slow. I suspect I probably have less than 50MB of excluding attachments so it should be nearly instant even if it's a non indexed full text search.
- ghurlman 15y agoThere's definitely something wrong with your setup. Windows XP will require an extra download, for example.
- weaksauce 15y agoI just started to use gmail's imap support to access my email accounts with thunderbird. It's quite impressive what the thunderbird team have done with it since I got disheartened with it a few years ago. One thing I was pleasantly surprised with was how good the search feature was.
