Is it possible to change the location where indexes are stored? #63

Closed basil-conto closed 4 years ago

basil-conto commented 4 years ago

Sorry if this is a naive question, but is it possible to change the location of the xapian-indexes subdirectories?

The reason I'm wondering is because they seem to confuse my current mbsync setup. I might be able to get mbsync to ignore them, but it would be nice to know whether I can simply move them out of its way instead.

Thanks for this great plugin!

Have you tried the "INDEX" keyword in the mail_location of your dovecot.conf ?

Turns out it was pretty simple to get mbsync to ignore the index subdirectories using the SubFolders option (1), so I don't need to change anything with Dovecot, and am therefore closing this issue.

No, thanks for the pointer! I'll keep this in mind if I need to tweak things further.
