10.5: Create Spotlight-searchable Mail archives
Authored by: montylee on Feb 11, '08 08:19:04AM

I don't get this with respect to Spotlight. I thought Mail was searchable "as-is" under Leopard. My System Preferences-Spotlight does show "Mail Messages" in the listing. So isn't it already searchable without dragging the folder somewhere else?

10.5: Create Spotlight-searchable Mail archives
Authored by: BJR2 on Feb 11, '08 08:40:05AM

Yes, Mail is spotlight searchable. This hint is actually for mailboxes you want to back up and then remove from the Mail.app itself, it allows those backed up mailboxes (or archives) to be searched with Spotlight.

Cheers
