I changed the home user name using http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1428 and now search in Mail and Finder only show me files I've accessed since the change. This is a major issue for me.
How can I fix this OR revert back safely?
I use Time Machine but my attempt to restore to the time before I made the change did not work.
