Apple Mail Messages Not Returned in Query [message #1103]

In MacOS Big Sur 11.0.1 with Apple Mail 14.0, mail results are not returned in FT Pro.
I've verified that appropriate drive locations are being indexed and that All Indexed Locations is chosen.
I think this is new behavior since Apple pushed the Mail upgrade to 14.0.

Sorry for the late answer. Yes, in macOS 11 Apple removed the Spotlight importer which allowed FoxTrot to access email messages. Version 7.0.4 will address this issue. We will seed 7.0.4b4 in the coming days.
Thanks for the report!

Thanks for the reply.
This is critical functionality for many of us.
I've gone back to using Devonthink for now since the .eml search functionality was preserved with recent Apple updates.

Hello,

As foreseen previously by FoxTrot Engineering, version 7.0.4 is now final and downloadable on our website, after 14 days in beta as 7.0.4b4.

@Peter: please confirm rebuilding of your index in version 7.0.4 final and that searching in Apple Mail on Big Sur works for you.

Regards,
