IMHO, approx 80% of e-mails archived can and should be deleted forever. 20% that remain might (just might) come usefull one day. If ever. This Google Desktop Search + OL combination is the best tool to get rid of redundant but archived e-mails. Also, OL advanced find feature is not bad at all.

The email i dragged over appears in the inbox of the outlook imap account and did sync up with the webmail for that account, but it is not showing up gmail yet when i did a search for terms i knew were in that email. Not sure if i am doing something wrong with gmail settings. Any help would be appreciated. I did verify the email account in gmail. I have tried to follow the instructions above re imap.

So just put Gmail into outlook and drag and drop. If you have 20 GB, you just need to buy some extra storage. Gmail also supports IMAP (now). So just put Gmail into outlook and drag and drop.

It's really just as easy as setting up an IMAP account and popping from it into Gmail. I started by creating a dummy IMAP account on my domain (imap@domain.com). Configure this IMAP account in Outlook like any other e-mail account. You've now got an IMAP Inbox in Outlook. Set up Gmail to access this same IMAP account via POP access. Once that's done, any e-mail you drag into your IMAP Inbox in Outlook automatically heads straight to Gmail, timestamp still intact. An added benefit of this method is you can choose which e-mail you want to import into Gmail instead of just doing the entire PST. However, it does take awhile to transfer a large amount of e-mails.
