are there any plans to include indexing & searching of Public Folders to MSN Search ? I'm sure many people need this feature (especially in business environments). I'm still running LookOut, alongside MSN Desktop Search, just for the Public Folder support.
Add indexing of delegate email folders and public folders. I regularly have other email accounts opened up as a delegate, but these do not get indexed. This would be a great help.

It isn't pretty, but there is a way to have them indexed:
- Add whatever folders you want indexed to your Favorites public folder - Right click on Public folders, choose Properties, then click Advanced. - On the Advanced tab, check both "Used Cached Exchange Mode" and "Download Public Folder Favorites".

... not very practical when you have many, large public folders, like my employer does... we keep tons of documentation and technical info in PFs... I hope this gets solved quickly. After all, when MS bought LookOut, they obtained the means to add this functionality to Desktop Search, didn't they ??

Try to mark the messages as unread, then check if you can find something. I noticed it doesn't find something until you post new message or modify in some way old messages (old posts).

I did a test: I have added contact folder from public folders to favorites (MSN already installed and I use Outlook 2003 in cache mode). I can search items with MSN without problems. You are right, you can't mark "unread" for contacts, but maybe you want to try to change Category, for one contact for example...
