Ok, I seem to see what is the problem, but I have no clue how to solve it. Search does not work anymore in Mail.
None of my flags are matched (except for sorting "by flag" in one mailbox window) and all the smartboxes remain empty. I think that's what triggered my rebuilding the boxes yesterday which eventually resulted in removing all the data I had there. Ok, so now I have restore everything, the mails are here, but Mail search in all aspects of search in Mail is dead. Any idea how to get that back ?
