How do I reindex all e-mails (for a user or for all users) for FTS?
There is no generic command that works for all FTS drivers.
For flatcurve, you can run "doveadm fts-flatcurve remove" (https://slusarz.github.io/dovecot-fts-flatcurve/doveadm.html#doveadm%20fts-f...) for 2.3. (For 2.4, it is "doveadm fts flatcurve remove").
Okay, I've now removed the indexes for all users and all mailboxes.

Correct, this is how FTS indexing works - a message is indexed once. If you change indexing configuration, you need to re-index. There is currently no way to force reindexing, or reindex a specific message, so the only solution is to delete the indexes entirely.
Will dovecot reindex all e-mails, now that I have removed all the indexes? Is there a way to check how far the indexing is?
Cheers,
Alexander
