[QUOTE="thomahawk, post: 1917391, member: 414470"] Hello Mac friends All couple years (usually when I change to a new Mac) I store all old emails in a folder on an external volume. They are folders with .emlx files and all the attachments (as copied over from the library folder). Last I was on Mojave and that worked, mostly I used EasyFind to search for content of emails. I am now on a new Macbook Air with Monterey 12.5.1 and neither Spotlight nor EasyFind bring up any .emlx emails from my archive folder. No one knows why on the Apple Forum. The support from EasyFind responded But I find that may not necessarily be the case, because Mojave worked just fine with the .emlx files from before. And I can still now in Monterey select an .emlx email and preview it pressing spacebar, I do not understand what would prevent Spotlight from looking into this same content. Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
