| | Re: email search vista .eml - wlmd You are hiding them from search. Search just searches a few places. See indexing in Control Panel.

| | Re: email search vista .eml - wlmd Been experimenting some and here is what I found. Vista does index the emails. And it finds keywords within emails. But it doesn't find the author if you search on author, the sender, for example. Lets say I want to find all the emails sent from Smith1. If I type in Smith1 in the search field then hit the email button, it will not bring up any of the emails sent by Smith1. But, if Smith1 had a word "Philadelphia" in one of his emails, and I then searched on this exact word, vista would bring it up. I would say that there is still some work to do on this search integration.

It must be something with the client. Regards |
