do you run multiple email clients because of quirky Mac Mail Search function (Lion + ML)?
i am repeatedly finding myself entering a search term in mac mail to find no results (or results after five minutes) and then entering the same search term in Sparrow (where i get even more results than i do in mail) in seconds. this means that Mac Mail search is basically useless to me on both Lion and Mountain Lion.
i have been trying to figure out what is going on now for roughly a year and i have rebuilt some kind of database by following some FAQ (i did this on both computers) and i am trying to read up on further leveraging the search function in this software but i am realizing today that if i cannot even get the simplest of terms to return any items in mac mail then either something is very wrong on my end or something is very wrong on the developer end of this software.
i've tried Postbox (total bomb) and i'm using Sparrow (very quick but very light on the functionality) and i am wondering if i need to (hack-hack) move back to Thunderbird for my IMAP based email.
anyone running a bunch of email clients and getting different things out of each?
