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 .
