Have you ever lost an email, document, spreadsheet or other file… on your own computer? Do you wish you could search your whole computer as easy as you can search the internet? Google Desktop allows you to do precisely this. It indexes your emails (Outlook, Outlook Express, Gmail, Thunderbird), documents, spreadsheets, presentations, PDF files, text files, instant messaging chats (AIM, MSN, Google Talk), and internet browsing history (Internet Explorer, Firefox). With Google Desktop, you can stop filing and start searching.

Migrating to Gmail
Do you want to switch to Gmail and retain your emails from your current email account? There are a couple ways to do this. If your emails are on another web based email service, you may be able to retrieve them into Gmail using the external POP access. You may also use Gmail’s IMAP feature to move messages from Outlook to Gmail. If you use Google Apps, you can also use the Google Email Uploader. If you wish to migrate from one Gmail account to another, you can use your new Gmail account to POP your old Gmail account.
