"If option -m is given, recollindex is started for real time monitoring, using the file system monitoring package it was configured for (either fam, gamin, or inotify)." (from 'man recollindex') > How about evolution? Does it do that? I don't think it does. I use recoll to index IMAP emails downloaded with kmail, and it is likely to work with evolution just the same. It works very well and indexes not only email text but also documents attached to emails (e.g. content of PDF attachments). I do miss beagle but I stopped using it a few months ago because it would always stop returning any search results at some random point until I remove its database and reindex. _______________________________________________ dashboard-hackers mailing list dashboard-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dashboard-hackers
