I would love to be able to turn back on the global indexing. However I need to be able to stop indexing certain folders (with many 100's of 1000's of messages in them). It looks like glodquilla will do what I need – doesn't work with my thunderbird though (3.05pre). Any chance of a build that works with 3.05pre
Although I have the maximum version marked on the AMO site as 3.2a1pre, perhaps because it is still experimental the installation is not updating that correctly. Let me upload a version where the maximum allowed version in the code matches that. Because the extensions is not public on AMO, it will not automatically update, so you will need to download the new version (which will be 0.3.1) after I have done that, which should take place in the next 24 hours.
I guess I need to get it moved to public, as GlodaQuilla seems to be used more and more in production. I thought that was going to be temporary, but it looks like the support for gloda indexing control in Thunderbird 3.1 will still be more limited than what is available in GlodaQuilla (mainly that GlodaQuilla uses inherited folder properties to give more precise control of indexing.)
