Hello all!

I've been using kmail for a year or so, and at some point I noticed that it or akonadi stoped indexing my emails, rendering seach useless.

This is an example of a folder's properties (sorry it's in spanish):



No matter how many times I try to reindex it, it always shows 0 indexed items.

My questions:

How can I force a reindex?
Where does kmail/akonadi keeps those indexes? Is it ~/.local/share/akonadi/search_db/collections/?
Can I stop akonadi, delete the files in there, restart akonadi and retry the indexing?
Is baloo involved in the indexing (I excluded my mail folder from baloo)?

BTW, I have 14 GB of local mail, all from POP3 accounts (no IMAP accounts).

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for responding.

If you mean unchecking the box, saving and checking it again, unfortunately that doesn't make a difference.
Neither does pressing the reindex button (tested on several different folders).

I just restarted akonadi from a konsole and tried reindexing again and noticed the following:

Code: Select all

org.kde.pim.akonadi_search_pim: Failed to open database "/home/<user>/.local/share/baloo/email/" : "Expected block 187703 to be level 3, not 0"
org.kde.pim.akonadi_search_pim: Failed to open database "/home/<user>/.local/share/baloo/email/" : "Expected block 187703 to be level 3, not 0"

I hadn't checked ~/.local/share/baloo/email/ before, I see these files in there:

Code: Select all

I can try moving those files somewhere else and restarting akonadi+baloo.

FWIW and so it gets at least documented here:

I stopped kmail, akonadi and baloo, then removed the files from ~/.local/share/baloo/email/, started akonadi, baloo and kmail, and my emails' content is being indexed again!
