I installed your extension and things seem to be running smooth, except for the following exception in the error console, that seems to be repeating itself unendingly:

Error: [Exception… “Component returned failure code: 0×80550006 [nsIMsgFolder.getMessages]” nsresult: “0×80550006 ()” location: “JS frame :: chrome://beagle/content/beagleMain.js :: anonymous :: line 185″ data: no]
Source File: chrome://beagle/content/beagleMain.js
Line: 185

Hope you will be able to patch this easily.

later

Cheers, Wal

Andreas:
The exceptions you are seeing here are quite strange to me. But I’ve put a small try-catch block to catch these and default to other values in case we run into them. My guess is that these exception are the reason you get so many object files as well. The files are created, the mails are marked as indexed but changes are never committed to database. Hopefully this is fixed now.

Rogue:
The exception you are seeing are usually thrown when trying to access content in a folder that has no “defined” content. This usually falls back to “root” folders, like the “Local Folders”-folder. This can easily be fixed by checking if the folder has content before trying to access it, which I’ve done in the latest XPI.

Wal:
You have a pretty strange problem here. Does the extension not generate object files for you? The location of your content should not matter, Thunderbird should take care of that by itself (I don’t request for content in a specific place, I just say that I want all folders associated to one account and then the underlying code takes care of the rest). If you right-click a folder that aren’t indexed, do you see the “Remove”-alternatives? Also, you could try removing the ToIndex-directory and see if your content is indexed correctly?

You should all try the latest XPI, added to the bottom of this post (remove the old extension first and the ToIndex directory as well). It hopefully fixes some issues but it also print a new more lines, for instance which folder is currently being processed and when indexing of a folder is complete, so that we can debug even further.

so big thumbs up from here

I’ve done some other modifications now as well that hopefully will fix some other bugs. But I’ll blog about that later and include a new XPI for that.

I installed the 0.1 version today morning and followed the instructions. I get the following error message:
Error: [Exception… “Component returned failure code: 0×80550006 [nsIMsgFolder.getMessages]” nsresult: “0×80550006 ()” location: “JS frame :: chrome://beagle/content/beagleMain.js :: anonymous :: line 185″ data: no]
Source File: chrome://beagle/content/beagleMain.js
Line: 185

I don’t see any “Remove” alternatives on any folder so far. Also ~/.beagle/Indexes/ThunderbirdIndex/ToIndex is empty.

Thanks for any help,

After doing this, beagle show me that 86 folders remain to be indexed but doesn’t seem to index them. It just index new e-mail that arrived as others said before.

The ~/.beagle/Indexes/ThunderbirdIndex directory must exist for the extension to work, yes. Beagle creates this directory if the Thunderbird backend is available, so this will be taken care of once you have beagle installed with the Thunderbird backend.

Did you use the extension from this post? Because if you did, uninstall it try with the latest extension instead (available in my latest blog post). It contains a lot of bug fixes and should also be able to tell you about errors. Let me know your status here once you have (or if you already are using that version of the extension so that I know where to start).

I used thunderbird extension from this post. I don’t got TB backend so that’s the trouble. I used beagle version provided in Ubuntu’s repositories which isn’t the latest one.

I’ll search for an other repository that may contain an other packaged version of beagle rather than compiling trunk version.

Thanks for your response.
