Hi,
you probably need to set up some kind of FTS backend and index your mails. See https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/fts/ https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/fts/

Hello,
I am using dovecot as an imap server, mail is stored in mail directories. Configuration is below.
One mail directory has about 14 Gb of mail in the inbox and .Sent directories.
Searching from an Android phone with gmail is slow or doesn't work (it times out).
Is there a configuration for Dovecot that can improve this? A better e-mail client for Android?
Thanks,
John
