NAME

       doveadm-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 iterate_query setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext matches your  data-
	      base  layout.  When using the LDAP userdb module, make sure that the iterate_attrs and iterate_filter settings in /etc/dovecot/dove-
	      cot-ldap.conf.ext match your LDAP schema.  Otherwise 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 command 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
