Let me provide the brief explanations how tracker and e-mail are integrated in Harmattan now (if somebody does not care about Harmattan, he/she could go directly to the last lines of my mail). I believe that it will be helpful to clearly understand that E-Mail and Tracker are decoupled and completely independent. To manipulate (add/remove/edit) the data in QMailStore, QMF API is used. Anybody can call this API. When this API is used, it not only adds the data into the QMF database but also exports parts of it (meta data needed by Tracker) to Tracker through its API. Currently we have a dedicated process to do it, msgindexer. If you kill this process, the e-mail are not visible in tracker but e-mail subsystem works perfectly well. Pay attention - I include MUA into "e-mail subsystem" here as MUA uses QMF API to access mails. So, tracker and e-mail are decoupled. Another interesting point - in current MeeGo distribution msgindexer is not included and there is no integration of E-Mail subsystem and Tracker. Looks like this bug should be WONTFIXed now: https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6598 I don't see any point to include the email/tracker integration to MeeGo just after announcing the decision about serious change in the role of Tracker in MeeGo. -- WBR & WBW, Vitaly Repin, Productivity, Nokia-D _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list MeeGo-dev@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev http://wiki.meego.com/Mailing_list_guidelines
