Postbox is the best bet I can think of. I'm not sure if programs like Threadsy, Inbox2, etc might perform this function...

This way you could look at "photos" and it would bring up an index of all the photos in your gmail account... or you could search as per usual but under a file type (without using complex search operator syntax). Xoopit used to do this but now only works in Yahoo accounts. Essentially similar functionality to advanced search in Postbox, but in Gmail.

I now know you have made my list of people that I smile about when I hear their name... Your tools are great and I love the vacation response "Take that sukas!!!... Since I have inherited a ton of money from my Nigerian friends...." Can I use that one?? I am really, honestly Laughing Out Loud…

I really like AwayFind and your advice, it has definitely increased my productivity over the past few months, and I continue to spread the gospel as much as possible, though several friends are still stuck in their email addictive ways.

I don't think it's for *everyone* so I didn't include it. I was just trying to suggest universally applicable stuff...but for those it helps, yes, it's wonderful! Andy, thank you for signing up for AwayFind and the updates here at Technotheory! I wish you much luck with GPS Vehicle Finder, as well : ) Thank you, Dan!

Congrats keep the good stuff coming... With regard to awayfind... I really like the idea of allowing my clients or those important to me to be able to notify me when I am on the road... I have turned off the email alter on my i Phone and an sms message is useful when In need to get back to people... I'm not sure how many of my clients and friends may need instructions. I have several e-mail accounts and I was separating them out so that the unimportant (reading blogs and such) ones would go to my outlook box in a folder and could sit until I want to read them... Since starting GPS Vehicle Finder I now have a bunch of new challenges the number one is selling! Getting noticed as an expert, generating cash flow... I hope your tool will help with only myself and a 1/2 a staff person available for this project, being efficient is very important... Andy Gubbels GPS Vehicle Finder (Canada) Hi Jared
