emlx files, this is saved to the Spotlight index where HoudahSpot can find it. These files are picked up by Spotlight, run through an importer plug-in that can extract metadata and text from. The Apple Mail application saves its messages as. Why Apple would abandon this utility makes no sense.īut a question: can HS still search the applications that can import and store mail messages? like EagleFiler or Devonthink? Devonthink indexes some files optionally (leaves them in places and hence sees changes), but I don't think it can index in the Mail folder without maybe a permission change (on my laptop I get that red dot with a minus indicating no access is there a way to change that?). It's great because it can be used like HS to say find both PDFs, Word docs, and emails with say the same person's name in them for quick work on a project you're discussing. I can still use HS to search that, but then replying, etc is a pain.Īnd I've used other applications that will be affected as well, like Leap, also by Ironic Software. Basically it batch prints to PDF, and cleverly embeds the email metadata as tiny text (for various legal reasons I need something closer to hard copy email).

It's own searching is lame, and indeed has often been broken on my machine.įor other reasons I have already done some email copying, although I switched to Email Archiver Pro a while ago. One of the major reasons I bought HS was to search Mail. This is not a problem with Mail messages on Catalina: those still exist as files. HoudahSpot, however, is designed to work with files (show a path, copy, move, rename, tag, …). Items in the "Core Spotlight" index do not necessarily map to actual files.

Apple simply does not allow third-party applications to search "Core Spotlight" This is where Notes and now Mail messages are indexed.Ĭurrently "Core Spotlight" is off-limits to HoudahSpot for 2 reasons: Mail messages moving to a database would not be all that bad, provided that Apple allows third parties to search the "Core Spotlight" index. I hope Apple changes course before the public release of Catalina. Instead, the files would be spread all over the place for every malicious application to pick up. Mail messages with potentially sensitive personal information would no longer be protected by "Full Disk Access" setting. Then Apple would have achieved the exact opposite of what they aim for. Yet, I imagine power users and developers will take this route if Apple leaves no other choice.

Your Mac would be kept busy duplicating and indexing mail messages. It is not a good solution for application developers to pick up. Duplicating the messages may waste disk space. One problem with this solution is wasted disk space.

You can do the same or contact apple via We have reported this as a bug to Apple via In the case of Mail, it appears that Apple has made the decision to block access without leaving the customer an option to override and allow third-party searches, automation, or integration with other tools. when you want an application to work with your photos, you can grant that application access and get the task done. Private data is fenced off until the user explicitly grants access. What does make the change seem unintentional is the fact that it does not seem to be in line with Apple's current efforts at privacy. While searching these is much slower than searching the Spotlight index, malicious apps could go about there business of extracting personal information. Users can still grant third-party applications access to the files holding mail messages. One that, as far as I can tell, makes little sense. It currently appears this is an intentional change by Apple. Even after you grant "Full Disk Access", HoudahSpot will not be able to find Mail.app messages. On macOS Catalina, third party applications no longer have access to the search index for Apple Mail messages.
