Hi,
How can I erase the existing baloo index ? How do I stop baloo from indexing my emails ? This is highly annoying behaviour, takes resources and disk space, shortens my ssd life. I even tried to disable baloo altogether as explained in the following bug reports but baloo still runs and still indexes my emails. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331932 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332195
please help me before I throw away the baby, the bath, the bathroom, burn down the house and install windows 10 which will no doubt infuriate me less a lot less than this. thanks. I'm using arch linux 64 bits up to date. |

Just kill it after disabling. Ideally it should kill itself, but it's clearly stuck or something. `balooctl disable` erases the index. Also Baloo does not index your emails.

thanks for the quick answer.
baloo is disabled from the system settings so it should not be running in the first place. in the mean time I've found ~/.local/share/baloo/index and deleted it. If baloo doesn't index my emails, then which program does ? Because something obviously does and sorry if I'm mistaken but everything points to baloo, it is the only program I know that index things, the krunner plugin list show "desktop search" with the baloo icon and caption says "searches through files, emails ...", then there is this:
lastly there is the baloo documentation that says:

answering myself here as it seems again that nepomuk/akonadi/baloo question do not get helpful answer. so my solution is one I found from this thread[1] on the arch linux boards:
This probably means I have to stop using kmail, but so be it. it has been so buggy and inconsistent for a while no, today kmail redownloaded my whole imap account or ~3GB over a 512kbps connection rendering the whole internet useless for everybody for a half day, I was unable to read or send emails while in the end losing information about read mails (all emails in my inobx were marked unread), one folder was wrongly marked containing overs 4000 unread emails while it actually had 18 read emails. This is the third time this kind of nonsense happened in a few months. I've removed the account and adding it back, I made a brand user account but still this highly unwanted behavior still happens. Not to mention this other account that kmail refuses to check complaining about an akonadi database error about duplicate entries. Hopefully this will not break other kde components systemd style, but if it does, well maybe it's time to ditch kde for something that actually works until this horrible mess is finally fixed, if it is one day.
