I've spent some time lately working on a Thunderbird backend for beagle. Most of the basic stuff works, but it needs hard testing and some more work until it's ready for mainstream. So, that's why I've decided to release the source code to get some input.

Dude, this is totally awesome!


Thanks!
What's not supported (or not working correctly):
* New mails downloaded _after_ index is done, are not indexed until beagle is restarted

This should be fairly straightforward with inotify.

Yes, this is pretty much the case but with one exception. When a mork-file (*.msf) is modified/created/deleted, you have to associate it with the correct account. All this information is available in the pref.js file found in $HOME/.thunderbird/<random name>.default. No biggie, I'll try figure that one out later today.
* Attachments are indexed, but you can't open them

This is also the case for Evolution.  For these, I think it's sufficient
to just open the mailer to the email that contains the attachment.  (And
although it's an extra step to extract it, it's beneficial because it
gives the context the attachment was sent in)
Yeah, probably the best way to go. I'll work some on this when I got some more information about the URL schemes.

Thanks!

Pierre
