Not directly. But there's a hack I use which works. It involves a (never-EVER-to-be-used) install of Thunderbird. It goes like this: 1. Install Thunderbird. Version 3.1.x is probably the best choice, since Copernic does not officially support newer versions. 2. Run Thunderbird ONCE so it creates its own profile folder. Do not set up any mail account. You should NEVER run this Thunderbird installation again. 3. Hide or delete the Thunderbird shortcuts so you don't run it accidentally. 4. Go to %Appdata%\Thunderbird and open the profiles.ini file with a text editor (Notepad is fine if you don't use a better one). 5. Edit the Path= line to point to your Seamonkey profile. You can use a relative path, such as ../Mozilla/Seamonkey/Profiles/[profilename].default . Save. 6. Restart Copernic, or reboot the machine, or something, so Copernic can notice that you now have Thunderbird. 7. Open Copernic, go to Tools/Options/Emails & Organizer and set it up to index your "Thunderbird" mail folders. Hint: I found it useful to manually disable indexing of "deleted items" and "Spam" folders. You might wish to disable indexing of feeds and newsgroups too. About that "NEVER run Thunderbird again" thing: the reason for this is that there's a fair possibility of Thunderbird modifying the Seamonkey profile -- and in the process, damaging it in some way. Seamonkey profiles have stuff that Thunderbird does not use and probably does not support/understand. It MIGHT be possible to set up a second profile in Thunderbird so if it's started accidentally it won't attempt to open the Seamonkey profile -- but I didn't try it, I have no idea if it would be safe OR if Copernic would index a secondary Thunderbird profile. Better to be safe than sorry. So, no opening Thunderbird. By the way, Copernic recently released version 3.5. It's touted as "64-bit compatible." It's not quite as much "64-bit" as their PR would make you believe, but it is a bit of progress. The main app is still mostly 32-bit, but it now understands Office 64-bit (particularly Outlook 64-bit), and they now have a searchbar compatible with Windows 64-bit. Although it seems to be running a little better (not hogging the computer as much) than the previous version. Other than that, the main difference I have seen in the new version is that the free Home version finally got the large-index capability that the Professional and Corporate versions got more than one year ago. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
