| | Find/Search function doesn't find emails? Hi, I was trying to find an email in my Inbox. I right clicked inbox and chose find/search. I put in the user's name, no items. I put in the subject, no items. I finally found the email manually and I copied and pasted the subject into the Find subject and it STILL didn't find it. What is up with Vista and it's lack of finding anything? I just HATE the whole index thing. I want to actually FIND all files and not just one the ones it chooses to index. I am not sure why Windows Mail isn't finding things but it should at least find everything with the keyword I entered. Is there a way to force it to index the whole list of all emails? I can't seem to figure out Windows Vista Search at all. Boy, do I miss XP. Any ideas? Thanks Lara |

| | Re: Find/Search function doesn't find emails? No, I tried that. I tried email and name etc. I did an entire re-index of my documents folder so maybe that will fix it.
