Hi Rick,
I’m pretty busy on Clients work, but a couple of quick questions.
Are you sure you have “Mail Messages” selected in Spotlight Preferences -
'Search Results’?
Also, you don’t have a “Previous System Folder” on your Computer which has an
older Mail Application in it?
Not a bad
again Rick,
I probably should have warned you, that Spotlight 'Re-Indexing’
your Hard Drive, depending on how many and what kind of files you
have it can take upwards of an hour or two to re-index.
Let it complete the re-indexing before you test it.
Cheers,
Ronni
