Mystery Solved - Crawled Properties in SharePoint (Part 3)

Continuing on with our deep dive into Crawled Properties, we'll now look at the Crawled Property called "Mail".  Crawled Properties View – Mail

Crawled Properties View – Mail

The Mail category contains metadata associated with Microsoft Exchange Server e-mail information.

 

 

 

The following table provides details about each of the crawled properties in the Basic category based on a test environment. The table is sorted by Property Set ID, or GUID, then by Name and includes the following columns:

Name – The name of the crawled property

Represented in Crawled Properties View – The name of the crawled property in the Crawled Properties View

Property Name – A description of what the property is

PROPSET – The GUID or Property Set ID

Property Set Description – A description of the property set for which this is a member

Variant Type – The variant type of the property

Variant Type Description – A description of the variant type

Mapped To – A listing of which managed property(ies) this crawled property is mapped to

Indexed – Indicates whether this property is included in the index from an “out of the box” installation.

 

 

NOTE: Your environment may have more or less crawled properties based on the content being crawled.

  This is an old post i realize but i'll take a chance... I am using search server 2010 express to index folder of .msg files.  It finds 22 properties that it automatically puts in the mail category.  How do i find out what they all are so i can map them to managed properties?  For example there are 2 DateTime properties it finds: Mail:12 and Mail:53.  I have tried using them as both sent and received by mapping each to their own managed property and then searching on a date i know to be a sent/received date for a given msg file but no results come back for anything i search using these fields?  I'm also at a loss on where CC and BCC would be as they don't appear to be in the list, but there are many msg files that have values for CC and BCC so why didn't the crawl pick up/infer these????
