Login into this new user account and setup your email accounts via Mail.app. If you are using IMAP to talk to your mail server, you should get a new copy of all your messages. Does Spotlight search work? 2/ Download the Mac version of Thunderbird from mozilla.org <http://www.mozilla.org/#feature-thunderbird> and set it up. I think it will pick up your email account setting from Mail.app but if it doesn't, manually setup your email accounts. Thunderbird has it's own search facility. Does that work? I am trying to narrow down the scope of your problem to be Mail.app only, your account only or broader. Have you run Diskutil and checked your disk and file permissions? [In the 10+ years that I have spend my own money on Macs, I only had to reinstall the OS once after some really weird things happened and discussions with Apple support. I wish my Windows experience were so simple] Regards, Spencer On Mar 23, 2012, at 9:02, Peter Cheyne wrote: > Thank you for your message, Gene! > > Spencer, I appreciate your suggestions, I tried them, and then those on > the Mac Rumors page, but the problem remains. > > All the best, > > Peter > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
