Hi, did you check this, this and this? I got the similar errors when trying to run the indexing but after a few retry it works. I tried to index email mailbox separately (by running the command inside the rebuild-index.sh for each mailbox separately) and identified which one caused the problem, then I had to open/read the problematic folders with a mail client, and then the index worked. Given this feels like another duplicate, @staff, there might be something up / to improve with how the indexing is handled.

That's great, thanks @girish! It seems to work now. I enabled it and followed the steps in the new documentation you linked to, and then ran doveadm -c /run/dovecot.conf index -A '*' from the mail container which started indexing everything. Just waiting for the indexing to finish to confirm it'll be good.

@girish I think that would be a good change. I also think I should have gone through the Troubleshooting document sooner : https://docs.cloudron.io/troubleshooting/ Thanks!

@necrevistonnezr I noticed the first time enabling it,it has to index each mailbox which takes time depending on how big they are. I am sure if you left it as-is for a bit it would have started on it's own. Glad it's working now

I found that in Thundberbird, if you press Ctrl+K, it will use IMAP search. On Android K-9, there is Settings -> Account Settings -> Search -> Enable server search.
