DOVEADM-INDEX(1) Dovecot DOVEADM-INDEX(1)NAMEdoveadm-index - Index mailboxes
SYNOPSIS
doveadm [-Dv] index [-S socket_path] mailbox
doveadm [-Dv] index [-S socket_path] -A mailbox
doveadm [-Dv] index [-S socket_path] -u user mailbox
DESCRIPTION
Add unindexed messages in a mailbox into index/cache file. If full text
search is enabled, also add unindexed messages to the fts database.
The caching adds only the fields that were previously added to the
mailbox's caching decisions, so it won't do anything useful for mail‐
boxes that user's client hasn't accessed yet. You can use doveadm dump
command to show a specific mailbox's current caching decisions.
OPTIONS
Global doveadm(1) options:
-D Enables verbosity and debug messages.
-v Enables verbosity, including progress counter.
Command specific options:
-A If the -A option is present, the command will be performed for
all users. Using this option in combination with system users
from userdb { driver = passwd } is not recommended, because it
contains also users with a lower UID than the one configured
with the first_valid_uid setting.
When the SQL userdb module is used make sure that the iter‐
ate_query setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext matches
your database layout. When using the LDAP userdb module, make
sure that the iterate_attrs and iterate_filter settings in
/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext match your LDAP schema. Oth‐
erwise doveadm(1) will be unable to iterate over all users.
-S socket_path
The option's argument is either an absolute path to a local UNIX
domain socket, or a hostname and port (hostname:port), in order
to connect a remote host via a TCP socket.
This allows an administrator to execute doveadm(1) mail commands
through the given socket.
-u user/mask
Run the command only for the given user. It's also possible to
use '*' and '?' wildcards (e.g. -u *@example.org).
When neither the -A option nor -u user was specified, the com‐
mand will be executed with the environment of the currently
logged in user.
ARGUMENTS
mailbox
The name of the mailbox to index.
EXAMPLE
Index bob's INBOX:
doveadm index -u bob INBOX
