<p dir="auto">It's better to use <code style="margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0.25em; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7;">A .ics</code> to avoid attachments which happen to include <code style="margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0.25em; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7;">ics</code> in its name.</p>

<p dir="auto">If possible, send me an example via “Help ▸ Send Feedback”. You can also use “View ▸ Show Raw Message” and locate the <code style="margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0.25em; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7;">Content-Disposition</code> header and the <code style="margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0.25em; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7;">Content-Type</code> header of the calendar attachment. These are likely all I need to figure out why this happens.</p>
<p dir="auto">There might be an issue with MailMate not looking at some specific variant of specifying the filename. The filename indicates that MailMate could not find the name (or there is no name) and gave it a default name of <code style="margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0.25em; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7;">Attachment.ics</code> based on its MIME type. In that case, it's hard to search for. I think maybe this would work:</p>
<pre style="margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px; padding: 5px; background-color: #F7F7F7; border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px; overflow-x: auto; max-width: 90vw;"><code style="margin: 0 0; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7; padding: 0px;">Content-Type ▸ Subtype is “calendar”
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">For which you need to enable the “All body parts” check mark for the “is” comparison method.</p>
<p dir="auto">I'm not saying that this shouldn't be easier :) For example, when using the <code style="margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0.25em; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7;">A</code> search MailMate should (to be intuitive) somehow also search the name which is generated for display.</p>
<blockquote style="margin: 0 0 5px; padding-left: 5px; border-left: 2px solid #777777; color: #777777;">
<p dir="auto">I tried rebuilding my entire message database, but I still get the same results. Is this maybe a problem with searching on filename extensions versus the main filename?</p>

<p dir="auto">No, I don't believe it is.</p>
<blockquote style="margin: 0 0 5px; padding-left: 5px; border-left: 2px solid #777777; color: #777777;">
<p dir="auto">P.S. I’m wondering if rebuilding the message index could be faster? I didn’t really need to re-download every message, I just wanted to rebuild the indexes, but the MailMate Help only suggested the .rebuild.tmp method, which forced a complete message refresh.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">That “trick” should not trigger re-downloading emails, but it could certainly work better. In general, rebuilding should not be needed unless MailMate detects an issue itself. I'm afraid it's used far too often in an attempt to fix unrelated issues (not that this particular issue could not somehow have been related).</p>
