But your suggestion did trigger the re-import, and everything is now exactly as it should be. I then realized that I had never gotten the “sorry, I have to re-import” message that I had expected (had gotten that when I had upgraded another Mini from Mavericks to Yosemite), so apparently this particular corner case (Mail thinking that it doesn’t need to re-import as it got all data from TimeMachine, so it should be OK). Then I stumbled on your tip above, and noted that you said that this would force a re-import. This was truly strange, as all mbox files were in place and were very large (about 3GB in total I never throw anything away…). Recovering from TimeMachine looked great, except that although the folder structure in Mail (“On my Mac”) was intact, all folders showed 0 messages in them.
I had a disk crash on my old Mini (running Mavericks, thankfully with TimeMachine doing its job as faithfully as always), so I bought a new one, preinstalled with Yosemite. Hi! The “remove envelope files” incantation also worked for me, in a slightly different scenario.

This process is very simple but can also take some quite some time: It’s also possible to resynchronise your email accounts.

When prompted, enter your system password (because only admin users are allowed to use this command).Type in this command followed by return: sudo mdutil – E.Open Terminal from the Applications -> Utilities folder or from Spotlight.If none of the above methods seem to work, you could reset the entire Spotlight index but it will probably take a long time – up to several hours depending on how much data you have on the disk. This will force Spotlight to re-index all your emails, but other indexes will be left untouched. Type this command followed by return: mdimport -r /System/Library/Spotlight/Mail.mdimporter Open Terminal from the Applications -> Utilities folder. It’s possible to completely re-index mail forcibly as follows.

Mac OS X actually uses Spotlight to search for message content, so the most likely cause is an issue with the Spotlight index itself.įollow each of the steps below until your issue is resolved. Mail is actually rebuilding the index, which should in most circumstances fix the issue.Īs already mentioned, message content is indexed and searched completely independently from headers. Now restart Mailand you’ll see a message informing you that it has to import your messages.
