• Indexing Thunderbird Messages

    June 7th, 2007 by seth bindernagel with 3 comments »

    I set up a way to index my Thunderbird inbox so Spotlight/Google Desktop can find individual messages using whatever search parameters I put into the search box.

    If you’re interested (and use Thunderbird on a Mac), go here: http://www.dennis.ca/weblog/2007/04/17/howto-make-spotlight-and-google-desktop-index-thunderbird-messages/

    Not sure if this is the best way to do it, but it seems to be working for me. Maybe some others know of a better way. If so, please share.

  • Camino 1.5

    June 7th, 2007 by seth bindernagel with no comments »

    I wanted to give a shout out to Camino 1.5, which was released this week.

    Sam Sidler and Mike Pinkerton have already blogged a bunch about it, but I wanted to also weigh in.

    It’s more great work by the community. If you’re a Mac user, check it out. Camino 1.5 includes some awesome new features like spell checking (using the OS X dictionaries), feed detection and hand-off, sessions saving and recovery, and some improvements to our tabs. The team even set up migration documentation for users where the site identifies which browser you are using and then direct you to the correct migration instruction. …Excellent stuff here and driven completely by the community.

    I blogged about this earlier this week, but on June 16 and 17, the Camino volunteers will be having a meet-up at Mozilla. If you’re interested in participating, please contact me and I will get you in touch with the right people.
