And the other question is, is there any mail user agent that would support server-side full text indexing and not create own indexes?
Thunderbird. Maybe all MUAs? Usually with smartly designed MUAs body searches are left to the IMAP server to perform. On standard TB, in the absence of about:config hacks, one cannot run a body search on an IMAP folder unless you check the "Run search on server" box.
Interesting, I never noticed that checkbox - probably because I rarely use the advanced search...
But I'm confused by your answer...
First you said 'Thunderbird. Maybe all MUSa?' - then seemed to totally contradict yourself when you said 'On standard TB ... one cannot run a body search on an IMAP folder unless ...' ?
So - is there a user pref that can be set in user.js to enable full body server-side searches (ie for servers using dovecot with fts squat enabled)?
Anything else is a header search, and headers are already indexed by TB for pretty much everything.
My understanding is that not *all* headers are indexed, only 'Normal' headers - which is why I opened bug 543956...
