Yet another casualty of "software as a service". There could be better search tools on the client, but the fad for the last decade has been to push vendor lock-in and data mining instead of installable client apps. So now the full consequences of those choices are starting to be recognized.
- JupiterMoon 12y agoI dunno. Thunderbird has pretty decent global search now.
- mattmcknight 12y agoInstallable client apps just don't work from me. I need to access the same email database from 4 different devices, including some I don't own and don't want the data on.
- pdkl95 12y agoThen your requirements are in conflict with security. You cannot trust the network to do your encryption for you, and you can't trust a a computer you don't own to handle your private key. You may want to reconsider either dedicating some sort of portable device to be your email that you carry with you, a multi-account system the separates private email from the the email you can access remotely, or resigning yourself and those communicate with to sending using only postcards (non-end-to-end-encrypted email).
