thunderbird mail is indexed but in detail
Last modified: 2007-01-22 18:33:29 UTC
Please describe the problem: searching for a word brings the thuderbird mail files (mailboxes) but not the individual mails. it seems as the files are seen as files, not as collections of mails. i use ubuntu 6.10 and have installed beagle yesterday throught the 'add/remove - sinaptic method' i use thunderbird, but the mail is not at the standard location but on a FAT partition (one single folder) do i have to install something special to work with thunderbird mail? Steps to reproduce: 1. open 2. enter search term 3. beagle shows 'inbox' and 'inbox.msf' but not individual mails Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
Does Thunderbird itself know to look in the FAT partition for the mail? Right now I believe the Thunderbird backend looks in ~/.thunderbird and ~/.mozilla-thunderbird for mail; I don't think it has any logic to look elsewhere for them.
I am sure this is a duplicate of 397789. Thunderbird backend does not know (or if it knows, the code is buggy) to look for mails in a non-standard location. As a result, the mail files beagle finds are indexed as mbox files on the filesystem and _not_ emails from thunderbird store. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 397789 ***
