Hi Ralf,

It would be great, but we have an LDAP+exim as backend, and searching in documentation doen´t seem so easy :( Is posible to call index directly instead as a part of delivery?

Thank you, Lucas

Hi,

First of all congratulations for you development. It´s really good. We have a customer that has a copy of all inbound and outbound mail in an account. When he tries to open the mail, the process of index all mail consume all cpu and memory. How can we avoid this kinds of things?

Use dovecot's deliver program when delivering to that mailbox. This will keep the index up-to-date.

Hi Charles,

RedHat 4.0, Maildir, 3 Gb. of volume, and about 6k msgs. Never finish the build task, could I force to exec the process for this user?

Thank you, Lucas

OS? How many messages? Maildir or mbox?

The index will have to be built, but maybe you can set it at a lower nice level?

Hi Timo,

[root@hs-276 sbin]# ./dovecot --version 1.0.rc22

Do you recommend an update ?

6000 messages isn't hardly anything. You didn't mention your Dovecot version. If it's 0.99.x, upgrade to 1.0.1 instead that that most likely solves the problem.
