Exclude certain mailboxes from Spotlight indexing

Mac OS X Add comments

I’m probably a month behind the rest of the world in finding this out.

The company I work for hosts its e-mail on an Exchange server. The Public Folders store on the server contains tens of thousands of items that are indexed by Spotlight and that I’d rather not include as part of my Spotlight search results. So how can I stop that mailbox from being indexed?By dragging it to the Privacy tab in Spotlight preferences. In fact, I can drag any mailbox to the Privacy tab to prevent its indexing. I just thought I’d pass that on.
