I have three offline folders (*.pst) files that I use in Outlook. I can only
get the desktop search to index one of the three even though they show up and
are selected in the options of folders to index. Any thoughts?

I should have mentioned, I am having the problem only with MSN Desktop Search
full release. I did NOT have the problem with beta version that I was using
before I upgrade to the newest version. I used to be able to search and
index all three of my pst files in Outlook.

I have the exact same problem. All psts were searched perfectly by MSN destop
search beta - not by the final product. I have rebuilt my index many times
over while outlook was open.

Had no problem with the Beta version. Strange...

It appears its only emails in the "root" location of a pst (private folder)
that are not found. I moved all emails into a subfolder & it worked fine.

Hope this helps some people.
