Message searching in Dovecot
Hello, For mobile clients (gmail on Android), I need a server side searching solution. A few months ago, I tried getting Solr to work with Dovecot, but failed. The instructions here https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/fts/solr/ are quite out of date, they reference Debian 8 and 9 (current version 11), and Solr 7.7 (current version 9.2) My Solr experience is pretty much zero. Questions/Requests: * Is there a different tool than Solr I should be using for this? * Does anyone have a recent version of Solr and Debian working? * If you do, would you be willing to help me? * I cannot afford much, this is a home mailserver for my wife and I, but I could pay a small consulting fee. I use ansible to deploy the server, I'd be willing to contribute the playbooks somewhere for documentation, or help with the docs. Thanks!

Solr for Dovecot on Debian 9, package has correct binary?
Hello, I am trying to get Solr full text searching working on Debian 9 with Dovecot, and I suspect the binary for dovecot does not have solr enabled (--with-solr). root@elephant:/etc/dovecot/conf.d# /usr/sbin/dovecot --build-options Build options: ioloop=epoll notify=inotify ipv6 openssl io_block_size=8192 Mail storages: shared mdbox sdbox maildir mbox cydir imapc pop3c raw fail SQL driver plugins: mysql postgresql sqlite Passdb: checkpassword ldap pam passwd passwd-file shadow sql Userdb: checkpassword ldap(plugin) nss passwd prefetch passwd-file sql root@elephant:/etc/dovecot/conf.d# If I want to use solr, do I have to build dovecot myself? I'd prefer to use the debian package (Debian 9 for now). Thanks! John
Re: Fast searching from android device with Dovecot/Maildir
Thank you Frank-Ulrich, this looks perfect.

For debian "dovecot-solr" can be used. For Android K9-Mail does not really support server side search, Aquamail does and for other mail clients I don't know. Am 1.

Fast searching from android device with Dovecot/Maildir
Hello,
I am using dovecot as an imap server, mail is stored in mail directories.
Configuration is below.
One mail directory has about 14 Gb of mail in the inbox and .Sent
directories.
Searching from an Android phone with gmail is slow or doesn't work (it
times out).
Is there a configuration for Dovecot that can improve this? A better
e-mail client
for Android?
Thanks,
John
