It’s time to swallow my pride and admit how lazy I am to manage ever-increasing number of files and folders on my working laptop. Even lazier is to manage emails.
Hence, I’ve decided to heed my manager’s advice to install Google Desktop, an application that will perform indexing of documents and files, including Outlook emails.
Wq,
I archive my mails periodically by year… sorted in folders according to topic. These archive files are mirrored using Dropbox and backed-up to my USB thumbdrive too.
I do not think GDesktop is able to index emails within Lotus Notes, so there is no need to use it. The search function within the program is good enough!
Effective so far?
I tried doing the same, sorting by customers and by products, also used Outlook color coding, but found it all too troublesome.
Isn’t archiving too Yahoo! though ?
TM doesn’t allow me us working level balachi to synchronise our DropBox folder during office hour. Kinda sux.
Anyway, just to share, I had bad experience using DropBox to sync my important work file that suddenly lost into oblivion. It was so stressful as i have to recover data from other ppl and my emails. Just a word of caution Zaaba, good idea that you backup to your USB as well.
