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 have no idea how calendar events are handled in TB (and if lightning > has any API, actually it does not work very well with my current version > of TB...). 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. > You can feel a bugreport if you want, and I'll report my progress there, > should there be any ;) 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 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJOfIL3AAoJEEtNfIC+sk2GouMIAMo1+9KW8BGKLgFHTQS0q77y +xp8kURyu0DZRISgKDBkD6x5FMu29hVrabKCqSrBdbhkfni724+rzKYeYCtUL68y ZucqK0rE1r3QkrNKAhSSFCteQLxRqvlySiMSDKkc855VlZyxc9U+Gju1InhwlyVE qFWEwZMJYODHkrtcIDZmPfWF9DnJnHa2o2CMMeiaZF7mNNimTwAQGrhM6fZLsu7W j1vcolUnw2yJHaC+CYUeLhuMuRI7qlx+AW1I9C7c9aT2XK4K2kLm9RmEGhgNEwo5 SUostAm5EblGWwsQZSAzzLfagl3hwigAxnMGTiYi144KHLh4fCeaojjTNsVkGnw= =E2Bn -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
