Not sure where we go now, except to make sure that all mail messages are stored in Apple Mail so that they can be searched by Mail or by HoudahSpot. It would seem that the Catalina Mail.mdimporter is not compatible with BS. The emlx files do NOT have their content indexed. Then wait while it reindexes.and finishes. I have then forced reindexing - I did that in Terminal with mdimport -E /Volumes/ or you can do it in System Preferences -> Spotlight I have copied /System/Library/Spotlight/Mail.mdimporter from my Catalina backup to /Library/Spotlight (as houdah has suggested).Īfter that the Mail importer appears in the list after running mdimport -L There is no Mail importer (as houdah has said). But new ones are only there with file attributes - the mail content is not indexed.Ĭheck what importers are installed with the Terminal command: mdimport -L

The existing emlx files are still in the Spotlight index with their content indexed. What I have done on my just upgraded to BS Mac.
