I am trying to index a local installation of Thunderbird storing Gmail mail, set to save locally. However, nothing indexes. Thunderbird is set to "Allow Spotlight to search messages." Both "Mozilla Thunderbird Message Store" and "Mozilla Thunderbird Spotlight Cache" are selected in the relevant FoxTrot index just in case one works if the other doesn't. Right-clicking on them in FT takes me to the correct folder, so I know it finds *something." It's a 97GB "Profiles" directory in this path that drills down to this relevant directory containing files with the names of my Gmail labels: /Users/user/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/{string}.default-re lease/ImapMail/imap.gmail.com. In the Thunderbird Settings > Server Settings > Message Store Type, this is shown in the dropdown, though grayed out: "File per folder (mbox)". Can you help?
