Thunderbird contacts are currently not indexed in Tracker, although email senders/recipients are saved as nco:Contact instances. That could be improved in two ways: 1. Better parsing of email addresses: currently the parser is super basic, and fails on things like "undisclosed-recipients;". I need to write a better one. 2. Import of address book in Tracker: I would need to hook the proper APIs of Thunderbird for that. Nothing too hard I guess, just something which has to be done.
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-----
