How can I verify this? When I run "sudo ./doveadm -v index -u form INBOX2",
I see nothing in the normal log files. I do see the expected output on
stdout:

doveadm(form): Info: INBOX2: Caching mails seq=41808..41822
15/15
joe at XXXXXX:/opt/dovecot/bin$

However, I see nothing in the normal logs. I normally see a message similar
to "Indexed 500 new messages" when I force an fts update but I get nothing
in this case.

My config for plugins is pretty simple:

10-mail.conf:
mail_plugins = zlib fts fts_lucene

90-plugin.conf:
plugin {
  zlib_save_level = 6 # 1..9
  zlib_save = gz # or bz2
  fts = lucene
  fts_lucene = whitespace_chars="@.-_()[]{}<>/\\+"
}

Is it normal to not get output in the normal log files in this case, or did
i miss something?

I think there is an issue with the '*' wildcard. It doesn't seem to do
anything. It returns instantly, doesn't give any message or error, even in
verbose mode. however, when I specify a folder, it works as expected:

joe at XXXX:/opt/dovecot/bin$ sudo ./doveadm -v index -u form *
joe at XXXX:/opt/dovecot/bin$ sudo ./doveadm -v index -u form form_positif
doveadm(form): Info: form_positif: Caching mails seq=130044..130095
52/52
joe at XXXX:/opt/dovecot/bin$


Your help is greatly appreciated.
