greets, folks . . .
is there a reliable, nondestructive way to force kmail to reindex
a mail subdirectory?
thanks.
Yes, just delete the index files *.index *.index.ids *.index.sorted.
When you restart kmail, it'll rebuild the indices. If you want to be
on the save side, create a copy of your mail folder and then delete
the indices ...
Ah, probably goes without saying, but KMail seems really twitchy
during start up when rebuilding (or loading?) its indexes. Basically
check top to see if it's finished. On my system it'll suck up a full
CPU for 5 to 20 minutes and is almost guaranteed to crash if I try to
do anything in KMail until it's finished.
Best,
Michael
I think I may have found the cause of that, I tried to run claws and it
made some non-kmail files in the kmail Mail corpus. I deleted them and
while I have had the advisory since but never the hour+ long cpu burn as
seen by htop. 4 or 5 seconds after closing the advisory and its ready to
work again. I use old faithfull, mc to look for and do the cleanup .
