I just wanted to clarify one thing about this approach. Would this new 
approach mean that indexing would happen only when Thunderbird is alive? 
If that is the case, do you plan to support a "shutdown TB when indexing 
completes" or a "run TB in background" kind of option?

I for one am really looking forward towards your work :-) and would like 
to help you out as a beta tester, if you would like that. I have a setup 
which consists of both IMAP and POP accounts.

Also, would this extension be targeting newsgroups and RSS feeds 
aggregated by TB?

Looking forward to your responses.

later,
Rogue
