I noticed the spotlight functions are in latest alpha. Needed to try it out ;)

FYI: I did the symbolic link thing, putting it in ~/Messages.

For the record, I'm working on making this easier via a GUI setting since I don't really want anyone doing this manually.

...at what time can I expect it to start showing up in spotlight results ?

In theory, OS X should start indexing as soon as MailMate has been launched and the Spotlight importer has been detected.

Any special keywords I need to use to have the search kick in ?

No. MailMate parsers text content of plain text body parts and the address headers. That should make it possible to make a search such as:

        author:benny recipient:max spotlight

But I'm actually not sure exactly how the Spotlight syntax works. Documentation seems to be scattered or I haven't found the correct link yet. Here is one interesting [link](https://support.apple.com/kb/PH14172?locale=en_US).

You can also search via the command line using `mdfind` or see what has been indexed for a given file using `mdls`.
