You certainly CAN save Outlook messages to the file system and double click on them to read them. They are saved as .msg files. There is no need to save all messages in Outlook folders - the file system works just fine and saves space in Outlook if one has a store limitation imposed by the mail admin.
To the OP, uninstall Google Desktop Search or disable its indexing of Outlook.
