Indexing not working on 91.4.1

Post by reft »

I've had a problem finding e-mails using the search facilities on TB. I decided to delete and allow TB to rebuild global-messages-db.sqlite (after closing down and re-starting). I noticed that the rebuilt file is only c. 1.2MB - it does not grow. I've seen in previous threads others describing this same issue - my file should be over 500MB. I'm using POP3 to access my e-mails. I have found a workaround for this. Do NOT specify working offline. As soon as I said work online, the index file started to grow, suggesting re-indexing was happening.

Try deleting all global-messages-db.* files, not just the sqlite file. For example global-messages-db.journal
