Is it possible to only replicate indexes and not the mail data
Is it possible to only replicate indexes and not the mail data? (Because the data is already on distributed storage)

Does replication re-copy data that is already on the replication server? I don't think it does.

Hmmm, maybe I do not understand fully. But if your emails are stored on distributed storage. Then regardless if an email is received on srv1 or srv2, it is stored on this distributed storage, and thus 'available' on both servers. However only on 1 server the index will be updated, the server that receives this email. Can't this get messy with how replication is described on this page[1]. Only the index needs to be updated on the other server.
