Beagle searching Mozilla Thunderbird mails
==========================================

:Description:
    Thanks to Jakob I found a patch (look at the very end of the page) which
    enables Beagle to index Thunderbird emails. I created a Gentoo ebuild for
    me personally to support this. I just made a TAR ball of it, so you can
    use it, too. To make it running, do the following steps:

Thanks to `Jakob`__ I found `a patch`__ (look at the very end of the page)
which enables `Beagle`__ to index `Thunderbird`__ emails. I created a
`Gentoo`__ ebuild for me personally to support this. I just made a TAR ball of
it, so you can use it, too. To make it running, do the following steps:

.. __: http://westhoffs-welt.de/blog/
.. __: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323065
.. __: http://beaglewiki.org/
.. __: http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/
.. __: http://gentoo.org

1. Create a `portage overlay`__, if you don't have one, yet (mostly
   /usr/local/portage).
2. Add the overlay to your make.conf (PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage).
3. Download `this TAR ball`__ and extract it into your overlay.
4. emerge app-misc/beagle-0.2.6

Beagle now automatically indexes your TB mails, if you let it index your home
dir. If you're using IMAP, you need to enable the download of messages for
offline use. **Have fun!**
