Anyone willing to explain those functions ?
Most notably " get_last_uid" "set_build_key" "build_more" , what is refresh versus rescan ?

Thank Stephan I basically need to know the role/description of each of the functions of the fts_backend:
struct fts_backend fts_backend_xapian = { .name = "xapian", .flags = FTS_BACKEND_FLAG_NORMALIZE_INPUT, -> what other flags ? { fts_backend_xapian_alloc, fts_backend_xapian_init, fts_backend_xapian_deinit, fts_backend_xapian_get_last_uid, fts_backend_xapian_update_init, fts_backend_xapian_update_deinit, fts_backend_xapian_update_set_mailbox, fts_backend_xapian_update_expunge, fts_backend_xapian_update_set_build_key, fts_backend_xapian_update_unset_build_key, fts_backend_xapian_update_build_more, fts_backend_xapian_refresh, fts_backend_xapian_rescan, fts_backend_xapian_optimize, fts_backend_default_can_lookup, fts_backend_xapian_lookup, fts_backend_xapian_lookup_multi, fts_backend_xapian_lookup_done } };

Why not, but please guide me about the core structure (mandatory funcitons, etc..) of a typical Dovecot FTS plugin
The Dovecot API documentation is not exhaustive everywhere, but the basics are documented. The remaining questions can be answered by looking at examples found in similar plugins or the relevant API sources.
I know of one FTS plugin not written by Dovecot developers:
https://github.com/atkinsj/fts-elasticsearch
If you really wish to do something like this, just go ahead. It will not be a small effort though. As soon as you have concrete questions, we can help you (don't expect rapid responses though).
