Hello

I'm using Portable Mail for around a week now, and for me and a friend both the Quick Search (right top corner) dont work. It just always promt that there were 0 Mails found. On the "local" Mail i dont have this problem.

Is this a bug or am I doing somethig wrong?

best regards

Is a know bug due (I suppose) that spotlight can't search inside apps bundle. Solution is having Portbale Mail Library folder outside Portable Mail.app as P_Mail Downloads folder. You need a little  modification to script file (Portable Mail.app/Contents/Resources/script):



Replace lines 55-56:

p_userplist="$p_userbase/$userplistbase/$appurl"
p_userpref="$p_userbase/$userprefbase/$appid"

with:

p_userplist="$1/../$userplistbase/$appurl"
p_userpref="$1/../$userprefbase/$appid"
p_userplistfolder="$1/../$userplistbase"

Replace lines 362-363:

if [ ! -d "$p_userbase/$userplistbase" ] ; then    
mkdir -p "$p_userbase/$userplistbase"

with:

if [ ! -d "$p_userplistfolder" ] ; then
mkdir -p "$p_userplistfolder"

You can then move "Portable Mail.app/Contents/Resources/Library" folder outside bundle app (where P_Mail Downloads is) or remove files "Portable Mail.app/Contents/Resources/CopyDL_Done" and "Portable Mail.app/Contents/Resources/CopyPref_Done" to resync your Portable Mail.



Let me know if you need more detailed infos or help.

Portable Mail 1.4 update is available. This update will perform Search and Smart Mailbox keeping Library folder outside application bundle.

On new machine let Spotlight some minutes to index you Mailboxes. Don't change default name and location of Portable Mail Library folder.

The Search in the Spotlight works now for me, thanks!

But The Search in Mail (top right corner of the Mail-Programm) still dont works


Is it just me or is this still dont working?

Best regards

I tested only the Search in Mail (top right corner of the Mail-Programm and it worked. I'd notice that when I used my Portable Mail on a PPC G5 1.6Ghz for the first time it took about 5 minutes indexing my 45Mb mail database.
