.mozeml files are files that Thunderbird creates when "Allow Spotlight to search messages" is enabled in Thunderbird's Settings / General / System Integration. They are typically stored in {home}/Library/Caches/Metadata/Thunderbird/ImapMail
These files are indexed by FoxTrot if either:
- you enabled the "Mozilla Thunderbird Spotlight Cache" predefined location in FoxTrot
- or you enable the larger "Library" predefined location
- or if you added a custom location that includes the contents of your Library folder, i.e. you whole home folder, with "invisible files and folder" checked in the "including" popup menu.
You may disable Spotlight integration in Thunderbird if you don't want this at all (you may still use the other Thunderbird predefined location if your Thunderbird account is set to store messages in individual files); or if you keep this enabled, depending of your situation:
- uncheck "mail messages" in the "index contents of files" list for your Library predefined location
- or make sure that "invisible files or folders" is not checked for your Home or whole drive custom location
- or add {home}/Library/Caches/Metadata/Thunderbird to the "skipping these subfolders" if you want to index other invisible folders
