====== Swishmail ====== 

A [[http://drupal.org|drupal]] module to that implements a [[http://swish-e.org|swish-e]] search index for the [[http://drupal.org/project/mailarchive|mailarchive]] drupal project. In other words: //swishmail// is a web interface for searching through email.
 
  * example: http://robin.linuxaudio.org/laodrupal/search/swishmail/ (devel version of linuxaudio.org)

The module in pre-release state. It started as patch to the mailarchive module on Nov/11/2007 - At that time I was not aware that [[http://drupal.org/user/409|Jeremy]] - the author of the mailarchive module - has been working on a [[http://sphinxsearch.com|sphinxsearch]] version. So instead of releasing it as a patch I've revamped my code as module that depends on the mailarchive module.

It works pretty well, yet still has the rough edges of quick pragmatic development.


===== Usage =====

  * prerequisites: Drupal search and mailarchive modules
  * download {{oss:swishmail:swishmail-rg3.tgz|swishmail}} and unpack it into the drupal modules folder.

After enabling the module you'll find a "Mailarchive Serach Settings" in the System configuration menu (enable indexing there) and a "Mail Archive" tab will appear on Drupal's search page. 

Searching won't work until there's a swish-e index file. The swish-e index is (re-)built automatically (via cron - see your ''admin/logs/status'' page) when it's nonexistent or older than the latest message in the mailarchive.
