I moved a bunch of my outlook mail to archive (pst) recently. I had all the files indexed previously by google desktop. When I run the Outlook google desktop now, I can get the title and the date of the mail but now I can't open the mail just by doubleclicking on the google entry. It's gives me the "File not found" error. Is there any way I can UPDATE google desktop so It'll remove the old indexes and update them with the new ones?
 
1. Go to "Start" > "Programs" > "Google Desktop" > "Uninstall Google Desktop."
2. You'll see a "Do you really want to remove Google Desktop from your computer?" dialog box.
3. Un-check the box next to "Keep my index."
4. Reinstall Google Desktop from http://desktop.google.com

Yep, that's right from google's help center. I use Copernic Desktop search.
 
You can also use TweakGDS to re-index everything. That being said, I also use Copernic because GDS just refused to index my older Thunderbird e-mail.
