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
Thanks. Did this and a rebuild. The Thunderbird files don't appear anymore.
I am noticing something in the Search Results that is odd: The date associated with a Mail.app message search result is often far off from the actual date of the email as shown in the header.
1) Do a search
2) Filter by Mail Message in the leftmost column
3) Many hits in the middle column will show the same date e.g. 3/4/23
4) Each associated message will be from a different date, often 10-20 years off (I have a lot of very old emails)
Revealing the messages in Finder shows that the datestamp of the emlx file is consistent with what is shown in the middle column vs. the actual message date.
This makes sense in that with file backups, system migrations, etc. file datestamps can change.
But, is it possible to have FoxTrot look deeper into the messages and index by the actual message date vs. the datestamp on the emlx file?
This may have always been the case but I just noticed it now.
(Aside: I am not seeing this Topic on the main forum page and I am not getting a post notification. I don't recall changing any settings to make this private and Post Notification is checked)
