Re: [Tracker] Indexing of Evolution data

[Abstract <thikrat gmail com>]

Thanks for the answers guys, but more question related to this, and
sorry for hammering this but its very important to me and I will post
the answers to the ubuntu forums so everyone knows as well!

So lets say I have a PST archive from outlook.  do I have to import
this into evolution for tracker to pick it up or can i just put the
pst in a directory that tracker is supposed to take care of?

Also, after doing something huge like adding 200 megs worth of e-mails
that need to be indexed is there a way to tell tracker "hey man, look
at this now" instead of it finding it on its own?

Thanks
