It's possible to index non-cached stores but it's not enabled by default.

There's a Group Policy to enable this called "Prevent indexing uncached
Exchange folders" which needs to be disabled.

Using Windows Desktop Search on XP allowed me to index all my email
accounts
from our corporate Exchange (2003) server and (it then stored the index
localy).

Using Vista Search, this does not seem to be the case. Using 'Indexing
Options' -- Modify -- Microsoft Office Outlook, I only see my primary
email
address (i don't see any of my other accounts) and it is grayed out. When
I
hover with the pointer, it says "This email store will not be indexed by
default unless it is cached localy. To enable indexing you need to adjust
your Outlook email account settings to cache email localy" - which is of
course a pain - i have 4 PC/Laptops and my email accounts included
gigabytes
of stuff.

Any solution to this conundrum? Is it not possible to force Vista Search
to
index directly from Exchange and store the index localy (as was the case
on
XP)?

Thanks in advance!
