Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook, introduced at the start of the past week, manages to handicap the Redmond company’s email client, delivered as a part of the Office System. Essentially, the installation of Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook manages to kill the email client’s ability to search its own data. The tool from the Mountain View-based search giant is designed to bridge Outlook 2003 SP3 and 2007 SP2 (or SP1) with Google Apps. However, it appears that Google failed to perform sufficient testing of the utility, as Microsoft came across a bug that no longer allowed users of Outlook to search through their data.
“The installation of the Google Apps Sync plugin disables Outlook’s ability to search any and all of your Outlook data,” stated Dev Balasubramanian, Outlook product manager. “When a Google Apps user installs the sync plugin for Outlook, the plugin modifies a registry key which disables Windows Desktop Search from indexing and providing search functionality for all Outlook data, not just the Outlook data being synchronized from GMail. Because Outlook search relies upon the indexing performed by Windows Desktop Search, Outlook search functions are broken as a result.” Read More»

We all know that Google has been quite generous in giving space when it comes to GMail and right now it’s sitting at over 6 Gb and is consistently increasing. On the other hand Google Apps service is limited to 6 Gb of space (the free account, you can always purchase more space if you want to). For me, 6 Gb of space is more than enough but still, I’ve seen many people crib for limited amount of space!
Well here are some of the tips which you can certainly use in order to ensure that you don’t run out of space and you can rather use GMail’s space in case you are running short of space in your Google Apps account.
Here is what you can do :
1. Go to settings -> Forwarding and POP/IMAP (of your Google apps account).
2. Select Forward a copy of incoming message to XXXXXXXX email address.
3. Put your GMail account email address over there and save the changes. Read More»
