I noticed the spotlight functions are in latest alpha. Needed to try

FYI: I did the symbolic link thing, putting it in ~/Messages.
For the record, I'm working on making this easier via a GUI setting
since I don't really want anyone doing this manually.
No worries - I know i'm living on the bleeding edge ;)
...at what time can I expect it to start showing up in spotlight
results ?
In theory, OS X should start indexing as soon as MailMate has been
launched and the Spotlight importer has been detected.
Didn't seem to happen.
Running mdimport ~/Messages made it show up though - it is still
indexing my ~500.000 messages :)
Any special keywords I need to use to have the search kick in ?
No. MailMate parsers text content of plain text body parts and the
address headers. That should make it possible to make a search such
as:
author:benny recipient:max spotlight
it works ;) woohoo.
Preview of the messages takes a bit to show up, but its really nice.
So, in another thread you said it was possible to directly respond to
mails found in spotlight - how ?
Opening the mail works - any way to get from the single message window
to show the message in context ? (i.e. its threads)
But I'm actually not sure exactly how the Spotlight syntax works.
Documentation seems to be scattered or I haven't found the correct
link yet. Here is one interesting
[link](https://support.apple.com/kb/PH14172?locale=en_US).
You can also search via the command line using `mdfind` or see what
has been indexed for a given file using `mdls`.
Yes, this definitely opens up a lot of interesting things!
does it support searching via imap/mailmate tags ? Does not seem to find
hits on tags - but that could just be it haven't completed index yet.
