squatter − create SQUAT indexes for mailboxes |
|
squatter [ −C config-file ] [ −r ] [ −s ] [ −v ] mailbox... |
|
Squatter creates a new SQUAT index for one or more IMAP mailboxes. The SQUAT index a unified index of all of the header and body text of each message a given mailbox. This index is used to significantly reduce IMAP SEARCH times on a mailbox. Squatter creates an index of ALL messages in the mailbox, not just those since the last time that it was run (i.e., it does NOT do incremental updates). Any messages appended to the mailbox after squatter is run, will NOT be included in the index. To include new messages in the index, squatter must be run again. For large and active mailboxes, it is recommended to run squatter periodically as an EVENT in cyrus.conf(5) NOTE: Messages and mailboxes that have not been indexed CAN still be SEARCHed, just not as quickly as those with a SQUAT index. Squatter reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C. |
