Based on a lot of feedback from our users, we are rolling out a fresh new feature to make your Gmail life a lot easier and perhaps a little more fun. The feature is called Media Search and it helps you get to your files, photos and videos even faster than ever.
For every search that you send off to Gmail, Xoopit will now present the related files, photos, videos, and people to the right side of your Gmail search results. Media Search is a particularly useful way to find things that people have sent you without having to dig through all your messages so you can find the actual file or link to the content. You can also browse through your Media Search results right on Gmail's search results page, in case you want to dig deeper or to see what else is related to your searches.
You want to try Xoopit? We are still in private beta, but the first few hundred folks can click here to signup.
Finally, our friendly reminder that we love your comments, suggestions and ideas. Please send us a note at feedback@xoopit.com to let us know how you would like us to improve our product.
Seems like a good system but I can't install it with my Gmail App email (manar [splat] webdesignmaroc.com) , so I had to settle with installing it in my regular gmail which I never use .
... Now when I log on in my company email I still can see the message "We are gathering your photos, videos, and files. About xx% ready." just as in the regular email , but I suppose xoopit is not indexing my professional email media actually and it's just showing me the FF3 plugin status instead .
So my question is are you going to make this service available to Gmail App email holders anytime soon ?

What exactly is stored on Xoopit's servers? Email text? Index of links? Index of emails? I can't seem to find that info anywhere. Thanks!

@manar
We do support Gmail Apps for Your Domian address (GAYD). Signing up is the same as signing up with a Gmail address. Enter your credentials and Xoopit will recognize it as a GAYD account and sign you up.
If you're having a persistent problem, please send mail to feedback@xoopit.com and we'll try to work through the problem for you.
thanks

@Taku
It is possible there was an issue at signup, please send email to feedback@xoopit.com with the email address (only the address) that you used during signup. Alternately, you could try to signup again, as what you describe sounds like an incomplete signup.
thanks

Xoopit maintains a search index of the media from your Gmail account, such as photos, videos, and files.
Xoopit is not a complete cache of your email. We are storing copies of your files so you can download them.
thanks

Hi guys,
This really looks very exciting. Probably the most exciting web app I've seen since rememberthemilk.com launch.
But I'm not gonna use it until it doesn't ask for my Gmail password.
