I've created a bug report for it:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659934
I would think the best would be first of all to import the address book
and then to check the mail senders/recipients against the contacts.
Having useful & detailed contact data in Tracker would probably also
make it more valuable to the enduser if more applications dealing with
contacts get connected to tracker.
I use another Thunderbird addon to extend the address book features,
maybe it can get also some support. I've described it in the bug report.

I've created a bug report for it:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659937
I also don't know how calendar items are handled in Thunderbird and if
there is a API. But there are also other addons using the events, so
there should be a way to grab their information. I've listed some addons
in the bug report. -- Just found a document describing how to create
such an addon, I've added a comment to the bug report.

I would love to see some progress. :D
I've tested Tracker some time ago on my laptop, but I really couldn't
see any big benefit for me. Beside the fact that indexing was to heavy
for my machine (it was something like 1,6GHz single core, 512+265MB RAM,
normal HDD with full disk encryption and Xubuntu as OS), there were not
enough real world applications to use Tracker. I love the idea of a
semantic desktop, but if no application is using it (I have to admit
that I neither use Evolution, Totem nor Nautilus), it doesn't help... So
having you integrating some applications I daily use to the world of
Tracker is wonderful. :) Another application I would like to see support
for is Chromium, as I recently switched to it.

Thanks for all your work (also to the whole tracker team),
Simon
