Re: FAQ for thunderbird issues

Hey all, sorry if this comes across twice. I thought I sent this to the
list but never saw it show up here.

Ubuntu does. I'm running the latest stable (Edgy).

I've got Beagle 2.9 installed from the Ubuntu Repositories and
Thunderbird isn't being indexed for me.

I only have a .mozilla-thunderbird directory. No .thunderbird.

I deleted my .beagle directory and rebooted and let it re-index. When it
was done, still nothing.

I can post the whole log file if you think it'll help.

I've got 4 email accounts being checked from my profile in Thunderbird.
The settings for Thunderbird for the disk location are (for my main
gmail account):

/home/dave/.mozilla-thunderbird/3w7f3bkm.default/Mail/pop.gmail.com

All the others are insidie that profile/Mail/ directory in much the same
way pop.gmail.com is.

You'll see the comment below:
070121 1248413956 04966 Beagle DEBUG: Indexing 4 (4) Thunderbird
account(s) spread over 1 profile(s)

But it finishes in less than a second.

Any searches never return any email results.

Any thoughts?
