Possibilities:

1. The smart mailbox's source Mailboxes (first tab in the "Edit 
Mailbox..." dialog) don't include any of the IMAP or smart mailboxes 
where the original message exists.

2. Some other Condition (second tab in the "Edit Mailbox..." dialog) is 
blocking the inclusion of the original message.

3. You misspelled "Smith" (or whatever it actually is) in the first 
search. Seems unlikely, but stuff happens...

4. There's something wrong with your message index.

5. There's something wrong with how MailMate is doing indexing.


If you can diagnose 1, 2, or 3: the fix will be obvious.

If 4 is the problem, it MIGHT be resolvable by using the "Reset" command 
on the unsearchable message (and re-synching the source if MM doesn't 
immediately do so automatically.) However, there might be some grander 
brokenness in the index that can only be fixed by following the "Rebuild 
Database" procedure described in the MM Help to redo the whole index 
from the messages. MM often catches such problems itself, but nothing is 
perfect. A full re-index can be a long slow process.

If 5 is it (i.e. if you eliminate the others) then I would think Benny 
would want to get the actual message that's not being found to figure 
out why it isn't being indexed correctly.
