Mail.app and spotlight issues

[pdpfilms]

Aloha!
So it turns out my Mail app's spotlight function doesn't work. At all. Not one bit. When I search, no matter what the search, i get 0 results. Is there a hidden spotlight index file specifically for mail that I can delete?
Also, none of my smart folders work... which I'm guesing is a function of the spotlight being completely incapable.
Any ideas?

EDIT: Just tried re-indexing my main drive, to no avail.

Give this a giggle:

1) First of all make a backup of your ~/Library/Mail folder.

2) Delete the "Envelope Index" file.

3) Restart Mail and click Ok to the import mail message that comes up.

Hopefully that should fix your probs

How did you reindex? Did you use the Privacy tab in the System Preferences?

This didn't work.... Still get 0 results. Any other ideas?
