Hi again,
After checking again I've forgot to say that I'm using Windows Live Mail as
my email client. Local help from WDS says it's only compatible with Outlook
2007 and Outlook Express. However I made sure and added my WLM mail folder
and included the eml properties and content extension, but it won't give
result for any mail search, just other documents.
I can search subjects from within Windows Live Mail, though, but it doesn't
seem to search email contents either, even after installing WDS 3.1 ,as it
prompted previously.
So I wonder whether WDS is useful to me since it does not search more that
it did before without it even from Windows Live Mail. Am I correct?
thx again
