reindex KMail folders in 4.13 (Baloo)

Mon May 05, 2014 10:20 am
In short: how do I force a reindex of a mail folder in KDE 4.13 (with Baloo indexing)?

I have found that most of my mail folders are not correctly indexed following the migration from Nepomuk to Baloo, one example being 14 mails out of over 300 indexed. Can not find any "reindex this folder" option that used to exist in earlier versions.

Needless to say it renders search and "quick search" rather pointless in KMail at this moment

Kind regards
Sinclair

Remove your baloorc file (typically in ~/.kde/share/config/baloorc), and then restart akonadi via akonadictl restart.

Also, are you using maildir or IMAP?

Will try this and report back. I use both IMAP and pop/maildir accounts
