Hopefully someone can help me with this issue.

I have a .mac account. I have created some mailboxes/folders on Mail to organize my emails. There is an option when creating a folder for "On My Mac" or ".Mac". What I would like to do keep everything synced. Meaning I would like create folders that would reside on my Mac and stay synced with .Mac so I can look at those folders when away from my home computer. When creating these folders, I chose the option "On My Mac". Obviously, the folders never were created on .mac account. So then I decided to create the folders on ".mac" and that seemed to work part way. Meaning, everything got synced, but the issue is when using spotlight/search, if emails were moved to a folder on my ".mac" account, spotlight would not find the email with the specified search fields.
Not sure if anyone has this problem or they understand me. Basically I would like to have folders for organized email that would stay in sync with .Mac and still allow me to use spotlight to search through them
thanks for any help
