DOVEADM-INDEX(1)		    Dovecot		      DOVEADM-INDEX(1)

NAME
       doveadm-index - Index mailboxes

SYNOPSIS
       doveadm [-Dv] index [-S socket_path] [-q] [-n max_recent] mailbox
       doveadm [-Dv] index [-S socket_path] -A [-q] [-n	max_recent] mailbox
       doveadm [-Dv] index [-S socket_path] -F file [-q] [-n max_recent] mail-
       box
       doveadm [-Dv] index [-S socket_path] -u user [-q] [-n max_recent] mail-
       box

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.

       Messages	can also be added automatically	to full	text search index  us-
       ing:

       plugin {
	 ...
	 fts_autoindex = yes
       }
       in /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-plugin.conf.

OPTIONS
       Global doveadm(1) options:

       -D     Enables verbosity	and debug messages.

       -o setting=value
	      Overrides	 the  configuration  setting from /usr/local/etc/dove-
	      cot/dovecot.conf and from	the userdb with	the given  value.   In
	      order to override	multiple settings, the -o option may be	speci-
	      fied multiple times.

       -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 /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext
	      matches your database layout.  When using	the LDAP  userdb  mod-
	      ule,  make  sure	that the iterate_attrs and iterate_filter set-
	      tings in /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext match your
	      LDAP schema.  Otherwise doveadm(1) will  be  unable  to  iterate
	      over all users.

       -F file
	      Execute the command for all the users in the file.  This is sim-
	      ilar  to the -A option, but instead of getting the list of users
	      from the userdb, they are	read from the given  file.   The  file
	      contains one username per	line.

       -n max_recent
	      An  integer value, which specifies the maximum number of \Recent
	      messages in  mailboxes.	If  the	 mailbox  contains  more  than
	      max_recent  messages with	\Recent	flag set, the mailbox will not
	      be indexed.  This	may be useful to  avoid	 unnecessary  indexing
	      for large	mailboxes that are never opened.

       -q     Queues  the  indexing  to	be run by indexer process.  Without -q
	      the indexing is done directly by the doveadm(1)  process.	  Some
	      backends	like fts-lucene	can't handle multiple processes	updat-
	      ing the indexes simultaneously, so -q should usually be used  on
	      production.

       -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 the -F file option, nor the
	      -u user was specified, the command will be executed with the en-
	      vironment	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
