10.4: Force Spotlight to reindex a drive
Authored by: timstringer on May 01, '05 10:43:25AM

I was having a similar problem where much of my content wasn't showing up through Spotlight. So, I entered the "sudo mdutil -E /" command as suggested. Spotlight immediately when through a reindex process that took approximately an hour to complete. But, once it was done, I discovered that none of my imported mail could be accessed (the messages appear to still be there, but they don't show up under the Mail application).

Any suggestions are most welcome. Thanks!

Try

mdimport ~/Library/Mail/*/*.mbox/Messages

Good luck
