Does "doveadm index -A INBOX" reindex everything? What about users with multiple folders, both subbed& not subbed under INBOX? It indexes INBOX (only) for all users. And it doesn't "reindex" anything, it just adds any missing stuff.

Ok - IS there a command that will ... fully update ... all folders for all users? Will something like "doveadm search -A text zyxabcxyz > /dev/null" work?

For updating full text search indexes, I guess you could do a "doveadm fetch uid text asdfasf> /dev/null"..

But some day doveadm index (and several other commands) should allow wildcards in mailbox names, so you could just do doveadm index -A '*'

Actually I'm using doveadm index -A '*' in a daily cron job and it seems to work for me. At least the timestamps of the dovecot.index.search and dovecot.index.search.uids files equal or close to the cron job start time in every folder.

Is there a way to examine the search index? Doveadm dump doesn't seem to like it.

$: doveadm dump dovecot.index.search $: doveadm(vmail): Fatal: Can't autodetect file type: dovecot.index.search

Thanks, e-frog

Yes, looks like it does. I changed the doveadm help output to make it clearer.

Thanks.

No, you can't dump Squat indexes. v2.1 can dump fts-lucene indexes though.

Ok, I'm meanwhile running v2.1 and switched to fts-lucene. Works like a charm!
