Hi, in Thunderbird, you can activate the Windows Search ability to find strings in your emails. To do so, it's in Options\Advanced\General\System integration (I hope my translation is ok). When I open an email, it now creates a corresponding wdseml file. Great. However, Windows Search can only find strings in already created wdseml files. I would like to know how to force the creation of all the wdseml files related to all my emails, without opening them manually. Does anybody know how to do that ? ATB

Hum, it looks like Thunderbird slowly but surely creates all wdseml files. I don't know in which order it does it, that why I did not see it creating the files when I looked at a folder it did not processed yet. I hope it will effectively create files for all emails. Sorry for disturbing !
