If I understand correctly, the Google Desktop has taken the route of using an extension to access and index Thunderbird Mail.
F.y.i, their implementation is unusable for many (all?) users: Thunderbird ends up hogging up system resources - you need to disable Google indexing if you have Thunderbird open. Relevant threads: http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Desktop-Linux/search?group=Google-Desktop-Linux&q=thunderbird&qt_g=Search+this+group Titles include: * Crazy Memory Usage * Google Desktop + Thunderbird = Slow * Thank you / Thunderbird slugishness Quoting from one: "Doing anything with Thunderbird, even after it's fully indexed, is painfully slow. Opening a message can push the processor to 100%. Downloading new mail takes a very long time, and then the system chugs for a couple of minutes after the downloads are done." This has been my experience as well. _______________________________________________ Dashboard-hackers mailing list Dashboard-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dashboard-hackers
