Yeah, that's true. I thought you referring to another problem. > Adding such a backend might be stupid but does it cause any extra load > on indexing over the FileSystem indexer ? Yeah, anytime a backend is added it increases the load, but we're working on some other ways to address that, so I wouldn't be too worried about it. So long as it stays in dotdirs it won't conflict with the file system backend and I have no problem with having it. If you can adapt your backend to be a full KMail backend, I am happy to include it. I am ignorant to how KMail sets up its stores, so I will leave the details to you. :) Joe _______________________________________________ Dashboard-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dashboard-hackers
