My email is not read through outlook but an interface called Turnpike
provided by my email provider Demon. I like the interface very much and dont
want to change over to outlook even though I can. My question is that Desktop
Search does not search the email messages and I dont know how to make it. I
do have another email address where i do use outlook and all those emails and
contacts are searched fine however my Demon (Turnpike) ones are not. How can
i achieve this?
many thanks
Charlie

Hi Charlie!

Basically WDS uses Protocol Handlers to search databases and other data
stores. Outlook and Outlook Express are supported as these Protocol
Handlers were written and shipped with WDS. I'm not that familiar with
Turnpike but I'm suspecting that one of these would need to be written to
access what ever local store it keeps your email in on your system. If
Turnpike simply reads and displays email from the server, that would be a
much bigger issue.

For more information about extending WDS Capabilities please see the SDK
documentation.
http://addins.msn.com/devguide.aspx

One sidelight that may be of interest is that WDS does read .msg files. If
you can store your emails locally in a .msg format then all you'd need to do
is point WDS at the folder where they are kept...

I hope this helps!

Jeff
