I tried using your first search (order confirmation) in Outlook (since I've had to do this before and to no avail) and, naturally, it didn't work at all. I don't have much desire to switch to Gmail since I like Outlook and have organized it and made rules to organize further* but gee, Google Search for my Email would be nice. A quick Google Search in my browser unearthed a great little article about tools that will do just that (and other great things for Outlook); http://www.online-tech-tips.com/ms-office-tips/search-outlook-email/ It's all there; Google Desktop Email Search, Google Search *in* Outlook, a plug in called Xobni Outlook Email Search which in addition to Email does Conversation History (like Gmail) and email analytics. Finally it mentioned a plug-in called Tagolocity which allows you to use tags to organize emails and create automated functions (tasks, appointments) etc. So I still won't be coming into the Gmail camp, but thanks for the post, I'll be bringing the Gmail camp to me :) Alex, I’ve been ignoring your ‘call to arms’ about GMail for so long, but this post hit home.
