OK...I have made some progress with this. Looking through the SOLR logs, the query that IMAP is sending has “user:FULL-EMAIL-ADDRESS” whereas the doveadm search has “user:USERNAME”. The indexing was done using just the username.
Is there a way to change the IMAP search command username to match the username used to login?
This is further complicated by the fts automatic update setting: it seems to use the domain-less username when updating SOLR.
Something to ensure a consistent username for indexing would be great.

Using dovecot 2.3.7.2 with solr 8.11.2 when I do: doveadm search -u user mailbox INBOX subject "something" I get multiple mail ID's. When I start a manual IMAP session and login as that user, select INBOX, and try the command: . search subject "something" It returns zero mail ID's; this is consistent across all searches using IMAP - no results returned, no matter what I search for in IMAP. The dovecot -n command returns: # 2.3.7.2 (3c910f64b): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.7.2 () # OS: Linux 5.4.0-125-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS # Hostname: WITHELD mail_location = maildir:~/Mail mail_plugins = " fts fts_solr virtual" mail_privileged_group = mail managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date index ihave duplicate mime foreverypart extracttext namespace { location = virtual:~/Mail/virtual prefix = virtual. separator = . } namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } mailbox virtual.All { comment = All my messages special_use = \All } prefix = } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { fts = solr fts_autoindex = yes fts_enforced = yes fts_solr = url=http://localhost:8983/solr/dovecot/ sieve = file:~/sieve;active=~/.dovecot.sieve } protocols = " imap lmtp sieve pop3 sieve" service imap { vsz_limit = 4 G } service index-worker { vsz_limit = 2 G } service indexer-worker { vsz_limit = 2 G } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { address = 127.0.0.1 port = 24 } } ssl_cert =
