That does raise a good point of what should be accomplished for the
first TBird
iteration. My understanding was that email would be stamped as Messages
and uploaded to Chandler Hub.
The second (or perhaps third iteration) would allow a user to choose the
what actions to take on the message ie. stamp as Task or Event.
Thoughts?

Mimi,
If the messages contain event information I assume we going to
stamp those as events when they are imported?

Here is the proposal Brian Kirsch and I came up with after meeting
briefly yesterday re: next steps for the Thunderbird plugin. (I
have embellished with mock-ups). Again, we are looking to
implement an 'easy' first pass at getting messages from T-bird
into users' Chandler Hub accounts.
1. Add 'Set up Chandler Account' to the Tools>>Add-ons menu
Q. Do we need a menu item for 'Remove'?
2. See account set-up mock-up below.
+ Enter user name + password
+ Select collection you want messages to be sent to - We'd like
users to be able to have more flexibility around what collections
messages are sent to. But as a first pass, we're going to force
you to choose one a priori.
+ Test button to make sure it's working
+ Cancel + Okay buttons
3. Add 'Send to Chandler' to the Message and Context menus below
'Mark'
- Nice to have: Add sub-menu to select from a list of available
collections
4. Nice to have: Add a 'Chandler' toolbar button.
- Even nicer to have: Toolbar button + pulldown to select from a
list of available collections
5. Nice to have: Add a 'Chandler' column to the list view so that
users can just mark up items they want to send to Chandler in-place.
BIG OPEN ISSUE
+ How do we reconcile the OOTB Hub collection + Desktop
'Dashboard' collection? Both are obvious candidates to serve as
the 'default' collection to send Thunderbird messages to. However,
my guess is that many Desktop users don't even know that the Hub
OOTB collection exists in their account and unless they do so
explicitly, Desktop users will not have their Dashboard collection
available to them on the server.
This is on the agenda of our Monday web strategy meeting. I
imagine that we will most likely rely on the user to understand
what is going and make the right decision. However, this is an
usability issue we need to address eventually.
Questions for Brian
+ Are the icons for all 3 platforms the same?
+ Are their size requirements for the toolbar and list view icons?
+ Naming conventions?
