Hey Folks,

Does anyone have an insight into this?

From the Terminal:

This works:

mdfind 'kMDItemFSName == "314912.emlx"c'

This works:

mdfind -onlyin [log in to unmask]@pop.secureserver.net/ 'kMDItemFSName == "314912.emlx"c'

This does NOT work:

mdfind -onlyin ~/Library/Mail/V2/ 'kMDItemFSName == "314912.emlx"c'

It makes no sense to me whatsoever that this last query does not work.

I can use HoudaSpot to search the same directory, and it returns a result PDQ.

Thank you.
