Spotlight searching for mailing list archives

I need to make spotlight searches available for individual Mailman/Pipermail mailing lists' web archives. How can I do it? So far, the only way I've found is to make a copy of the mailing list's web archives somewhere inside a web site's hierarchy, then add indexing for it with the mdimport -f command. Simply using a symbolic link to a mailing list archve folder in /private/var/mailman/archives/private doesn't work. I don't want to keep a separate copy of the mailing list archives just so that I can have one that's spotlight searchable.
Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I can browse to the iPhoto Library in the Open dialogues from other apps. For some apps (eg Safari, Word), I can see the iPhoto Library, but it is greyed out
That's not what I mean. You're browsing to the Library, I mean +browse the contents of the Library+...
For instance: Consider the Open... Dialogue
On the left there's a Media heading, the contents of your Library can be accessed there.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
Is your Library available there? And in other Media Broswers in Pages, iMovie etc?

Auto-tags for Wiki Mailing-List Archive

Is there a way to do this? I can't find any documentation.
For example:
E-mail/forward receipt.pdf to [email protected]
In the subject or first line of the e-mail you would add descriptive hash tags that would automatically add the "tags" to the mailing-list archive post.
Subject: Generic Company Receipt #february #2011 #auto #gas
Any insight on this?
Thanks!

After installing MountainLion I can't search for mails in Mail

Hi all, after installing Mountain Lion this february I can't search for mails in mail before 2014! But the mails are all there, I can scroll down till 2011 ;-) Its only the search who killed himselfe after upgrading from Snow Leopard.
When I search for a word via Spotlight, it finds all old emails!
Whats wrong with my Mail.app?
Thx

After reading A LOT of postings about this topic, I found my personal solution Because this problem started after upgrading to a new OSX, I mentioned that it must be something with rights permission. So I went on
User/Library/Mail right click -> Informations. Look down where you can see which groups has access, read/write. I went on the small wheel to change, set in my password, went on my user name, changed from "read&write" to "just read", switched back, marked "to all subfolders", then OSX asking if I really wanna do this -> yes. Waiting. Finished.
Now I see all my mails when I search inside the Mail.app.
Schnell und einfach ;-) Besten Dank

How can I get a search bar added to my email archives screen to make it easier to search for the right archives folder, Samsung has one so I was surprised to see that I have to scroll up and down to find the right folder?

Spotlight Search for iBooks

It would be great to have spotlight search for iBooks.

Hi,
have the same requirement. iBooks as it designed right now is not Apple like at all.
Spotlight is not able to find books.
Files are renamed into the depth of operating system.
Like this I better keep my PDFs in normal folders being able to search for the title and even the contents.
Actually I expected that feature in Yose. ...

Searching for mail with specific headers

Hi, Is there a way of searching for mail messages that contain a specific header? I want to find all email messages that come from people with a particular version of Outlook Express, so I want to find all email messages which have X-Mailer headers containing the string "Microsoft Outlook Express".
(This is Mail version 3.4. I'm a recent convert from Eudora & am still missing many Eudora features. )

It's inability to deal with HTML was finally getting to me. And it didn't integrate well with Address Book at all. Having to change contacts' details in two different places got a bit too much & the "Use OS X Address Book" option didn't work properly, not updating with changes made in Address Book. Nor with iCal, although that was fixed with a couple of hacks.

Spotlight search for text messages not working

After upgrading to ios8, I discovered that the spotlight search for text messages only "sees" my last two texts but not any of the others I have on my phone. These are all active conversations, not deleted messages. Any ideas how to fix? Thanks.

I Fixed mine by going to setting->General->Sptolight and unchecking "messages", exiting the function then returning and rechecking "messages".

Search for mail on server returns error

When searching for mail on the server i receive the error Cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed. All other mail functions work.

Not that it helps, but I'm having the same issue on iPad and iPhone. Happened around the same time. My server admin admits that they applied one patch for Microsoft Activesync, but since the Blackberries work that couldn't be the problem.
My account verifies fine. Opening the mail window results in the error message.

My iPhone continuously searches for mail, no matter what setting I use, which is running down my battery. Has anyone else experienced this?

My iPhone 5 continuously searches for mail, no matter what time period I set it for in settings. Has anyone else experienced this?

My iPhone 5 continuously searches for mail
How do you know this?
no matter what time period I set it for in settings
You realize that Mail App checks for mail every time it's opened and that the fetch interval you set applies only to background checks when the app is closed, right?

Suggestion for mailing list software.

Dear members:
I have been looking for a good application for mailing lists. I wish to create a few internet discussion groups and would like to have them set-up as mailing lists with posts distributed to all members in the form of e-mails.
So far the only I've found that seems up-to-date and reasonably powerful is Listserv from L-Soft (www.lsoft.com). This one, however, is rather expensive (really expensive), requires installation to be done using the terminal with Unix commands (which I don't master) and does not offer a Mac GUI (the program is controlled and maintained using a browser).
I am interested in an application that uses the familiar mac interface (GUI) and can be both installed and run using as a typical mac application. Also I would like to find something that is reasonably priced.
Would anyone be able to offer suggestions on what may be a good application for this purpose ?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Joseph Chamberlain

Hi, Tom.
Please forgive me for the delayed response to your post and thank you for giving me some suggestions.
I looked at the page you referenced on your post and found that the only three list server applications listed don't really offer the features I am looking for.
Letterrip hasn't been developed since early 2006 which means it is quite likely that it would not run properly under the latest version of OS X.
Macjordomo is in the same category of outdated software. The latest version available runs on OS X but the entire interface has that OS 9 classic design as something that hasn't been really updated in a long time. As I tried to run it all it did was to keep crashing. The GUI is also deficient and not you typical Mac application user interface.
Last but not least Mailman seems to be one of the strongest one of the group and I had heard of it before. The only problem I have found is its lack of a Mac front end user interface that follows the typical Mac guidelines. I don't have any type of experience with Unix and would not be able to install any applications that require interaction with the Terminal.
As popular as the Mac is today I find it difficult to believe that there isn't at least one good list server application in the market today. I probably haven't found it yet but I am hoping that one exists so that I can find it.
Please let me know if you have any other ideas or suggestions.
Thanks again for your help,
Joseph

IOS4 - "Searching for mail"

Since downloading iOS 4 yesterday, my mail keeps "searching for mail" with the icon spinning. In order to retrieve mail, I must reboot.

I got that after the update to iOS4. It would just spin and spin, claiming that it was trying to retrieve my mail. It was happening on all my accounts.
I tried resetting my phone, but got the same behavior.
I tried deleting and re-creating a couple of my email accounts, but got the same behavior.
What finally fixed the problem was a Restore from iTunes. As long as you have a complete backup, it's not much of a problem to do.

Spotlight Searches POP Mail Attachments

I started using POP to fetch my Gmail. Now Spotlight is indexing all message attachments and showing results from them (which I do not want). If I add the Mail folder to the list of locations not to be indexed by Spotlight, messages in Mail become unsearchable.
How do I stop Spotlight from showing results from my mail attachments without altogether stopping search within Mail? (I do not have Mail and Chat checked in Spotlight preferences)
Thanks

Hello I have the same problem and I don't think this behavior happened in Lion or Snow Leopard (at least for me). Although the Spotlight "Search Results" pane in my preferences excludes "Messages and Chats", every spotlight search from the finder windows also includes result from every attachment in every mail message. As a result, spotlight searches are barely useable. I found no solution. However, it looks like it was an old bug (since 2007 at least: see https://discussions.apple.com/message/5916605#5916605). Bug or bad decision -- the limit is hard to set between the two -- that reappeared in Mountain Lion.

How to enable mail list archives in the wiki?

I have had a group wiki for some time, but the group maillist service was not enabled until recently. When I enabled "server group mail lists" in Server Admin and selected the "Mailing list" option in WGM for this group, I hoped that the "Mail" tab would appear in the wiki after sending a few messages to the group. Not so.
Using the 'serveradmin' command, it looks like the listArchive option is disabled:
$ sudo serveradmin settings web | grep -i listarchive
web:Sites:array_id:123.456.789.12:443wiki.mydomain.ca:mailingListArchive = no
When I try to change it, serveradmin echos "emptyarray":
$ sudo serveradmin settings web:Sites:array_id:123.456.789.12:443wiki.mydomain.ca:mailingListArchive = yes
web:Sites = emptyarray
...and the mailingListArchive attribute is still set to "no". Am I doing something wrong? How can I enable group list archives?
Thanks!

Found it: Server Admin -> Web -> Sites -> Web Services -> Mailing list web archive. Then go back to WGM -> Groups -> Basic, and the option for mailling list web archive is no longer greyed out.
Checking the wiki after a webserver restart, I get the "mail" tab now. There are no emails in the web archive, but thats a different issue .

Search for mail in Outlook 2013 does not have all emails in result.

Hi, we have a user that tries to search for a sertain mail in her mailbox, and when she searches, a few mail comes up, but the one she knows is there, and that fits the search pattern, is not listed in the results.
We have tried to reindex the database the user was on, we have moved her to another database, and none of these have given us the result we want.
We have also removed the checkmark in "Search" in Outlook for "Improve search speed by limiting the number of results shown".
If she does the same search in OWA or Outlook 2010, the result is as expected, but in Outlook 2013, it is not.
Has anyone experienced this, and if so, what could be done to solve it?
Google(Bing) produces very little results that are relevant to this for me.
Hope someone here has an answer :)
