Usually search does not work on 'Body' if there is no Body downloaded - in other words you have only downloaded headers which retrieve the rest of email from server when selected and they are only stored in a temp cache to faciliate viewing. Suggest you try: * Enable the 'Menu Bar' if it's not enabled via 'Menu app icon' > 'View' > 'Toolbars' > select 'Menu Bar' * 'File' > 'Offiline' > 'download/synch now' * Select 'Newsgroup messages' * Click on 'Choose' and make sure relevant folders are selected * Click on 'OK' Then try performing the search on 'Body'
