Hi!
I'm using Dovecot 2.2.13 (Debian Jessie package 1:2.2.13-12~deb8u1) on
my personal mail server (the address I'm writing from is on this
server).
I use Maildirs, I have fts + fts_squat enabled, and I have a problem
with it for a long time - dovecot seems to not update the index always
"incrementally".
Yesterday I've finally made a test by telneting to imap port and issuing
a search request. Dovecot started to reindex the mailbox. Full
reindexing has taken around 15-20 minutes.
After reindexing the fulltext searches were fast, just as they should
be. And they were fast yesterday even after some new emails arrived.
But I've tried to do a new search today and Dovecot started to reindex
the whole maildir again!
Why is it reindexing the whole maildir again? Could it be related to my
anti-spam scripts removing messages from SPAM imap folder? And if yes,
how to remove them correctly?
