To be a bit more exact (at least for flatcurve), doveadm fts rescan deletes all messages above the lowest, non-indexed UID. Unfortunately, the current Dovecot FTS API does not allow those deleted indices to be indexed programatically, so it requires a separate, external trigger to index the UIDs. So, Aki's command chain is the necessary series of commands that are needed at the current time. This brings up an old TODO I had in looking into what it would take to trigger indexing via the internal API. Or whether that's even a good idea. michael
