Hi,

I installed Windows Desktop Search 3.0 (exact version info not available)
and Windows Live Toolbar on Windows XP SP2 with Outlook 2003 SP2 connected
to an Exchange Server. I have one Outlook profile that connects to my
mailbox on the server and also opens another mailbox I have access to.

With Windows Desktop Search 2.6.5 the second mailbox could also be indexed
and searched. I don't see how to configure this with the new version. Is
there a plug-in as for UNC access available? Do I need to login with the
owner user-id of the other mailbox and configure the Desktop Search, but I
guess I cannnot access the index when I logon again with my user-id?

Many Greetings
Michael

I have the same problem when upgrading to Windows Vista. The desktop search
is now integrated in the OS and it doesn't index the additional Outlook
mailboxes in my profile.

In my previous Windows XP setup with Desktop Search Version 2.6 I could
easily specify which mailboxes, folders to index. Now the setting screen has
very limited options.

Is there a way to tell the vista search to index additional mailboxes?

Thanks,
-Minh

Same problem here, I would love to be able to search on other mailboxes, or
we will go back to copernic :(

Hi all,

One thing you could do is give yourself rights to the second mailbox and add
that mailbox to your default outlook profile. You can do this by clicking
the file->other users folder->inbox or for a better solution, click on
Tools-> Email Accounts->View or Change existing e-mail
accounts->Change->More Settings->Advanced click the Add button to open these
additional mailboxes. Also while you are here ensure that you have Use
Cached Exchange Mode selected.

This should do the trick for you. This way both mailboxes are in your
default profile and available to WDS for indexing.

hth,

Jeff

Anyone find a solution to this problem? Vista + Outlook 2007 + secondary
mailboxes added as "additional mailboxes" - WDS still does not pick them up.
