Archival and search.

Dear Colleagues:

I now understand (much to my disappointment) that the most important feature
in OS X 10.4 Tiger which in my humble opinion is Spotlight does not work in
Entourage.

I am about to archive several mailboxes I have in Entourage and the database
size is currently approaching the limit of 4 GB. The last time I performed
an archival of mailboxes Entourage created a file with an .mbox extension
for every mailbox I archived. It's been a while since I've done it. If my
memory servers me right I dragged the mailboxes I wanted to archive to the
desktop to do it. Then I simply created a folder where I stored the mailbox
files for archival purposes. In case this is not the right procedure, I
would appreciate if any colleague could point out what the right procedure
is.

It seems to me that the .mbox format is not searchable by Spotlight. Is this
right ?

In case these .mbox files created from the archival of Entourage mailboxes
are not indexed and searched by Spotlight, is there a way to archive these
mailboxes that would make them searchable ?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,
