User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_4; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.125 Safari/533.4 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2.7) Gecko/20100713 Thunderbird/3.1.1 Without the Thunderbird.mdimporter (located here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=253622), Spotlight fails to return messages based on content searches. Furthermore, this importer does not appear to be a part of the Mac distribution (as of Thunderbird 3.1.1), and must be searched for and installed separately. There is no indication given by the program or documentation that such actions are required for the Spotlight search functionality to work. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure Thunderbird.mdimporter is not installed. (To do so search run "mdimport -L". check to make sure Thunderbird.mdimporter is not on the list) 2. Cleanly install Thunderbird, add an email account (I've only tried Gmail imap so far) 3. Make sure Spotlight indexing on, and that metadata are being stored properly in ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/Thunderbird/etc. 4. Find an email for which you have verified the metadata (i.e. .mozeml file) exists, and search for it based on sender, recipient, or message body. Actual Results: Spotlight fails to return the message in the Spotlight search results. Expected Results: Spotlight should have returned the message.

Yes, it needs to be in our shipping bits. I don't remember how we "install" the mdimporter, since there's no installer on the mac. The importer can go in either System/Library/Spotlight or ~/Library/Spotlight, iirc, and we could just programmatically install the importer on first run.

<http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Carbon/Conceptual/MDImporters/Concepts/Troubleshooting.html> indicates that all you need to do is to have the mdimporter in Thunderbird.app/Contents/Library/Spotlight. It's really nice how declarative OS X is in general.

Oh, ok, that must be how it works out of the box when the importer is packaged correctly - I remember Josh telling me that was deprecated, but as long as it works.

I'm running 3.0.3 still and looking at my next update. 3.1.3 was released withOUT Thunderbird.app/Contents/Library/Spotlight/Thunderbird.mdimporter, which incidentally is slightly different than the one referenced in the original bug text. 3.0.7 has the same Thunderbird.mdimporter as 3.0.3. chris
