Hi, it's basically as Patrick said, though I'd be a bit more concrete, because the things do not work that way always. Fist of all, we speak about IMAPx. Other providers can have it done differently. When you are online, the search for "message contains" (or body contains) always asks the server, then it filters the messages as below. If not in online, only the messages which are already downloaded are checked (and eventually included in the search result). From this I believe the significant (or maybe half of it) time being used is while waiting for the server response. Search in headers also depends on the actual header to be checked. Some are part of the local summary, some are not. For those which are not the message is needed, thus it is downloaded, if not found in the local cache. Filtering (which is similar to search, code-wise speaking) of new messages has some performance improvements for header filtering in the background. When the provider also downloaded the main headers, then the message itself is not downloaded even when filtering on headers which are not part of the local summary.

Have you checked the user help? https://help.gnome.org/users/evolution/stable/mail-searching.html If you checked the user help and could not find this information I'd be curious how to phrase things better or what else made you not succeed.

If you're searching the message content, it has to be fetched from your IMAP server. If you're just searching the headers, Evolution already has them. The speed of your machine is not the determining factor. poc ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Allright. In "search", the slow folders do have "message contains", the
fast ones "sender and abount contains". This is an explanation.
Now - how can I change the setting?

In terminal, no messages at all.

Agreed.
With "whole message" as well? Is 23s for "search the whole news" with
1700 messages acceptable? - I think on a 8core xeon it should be
faster.

Hi,
what is the exact search, please? Each folder can have its own search
settings, thus be careful about all three search parts ("Show",
"Search" and "in" fields).
I'd also run evolution from a terminal and verify it doesn't claim any
issue there when running the search.
The 1300 messages in a folder is literally nothing, it should be
instant.
Bye,
Milan

[Evolution] search feature slow - in one account only
Hello everybody, I've got 3 accounts in my evo. One of them holds around 1300 messages. When I do a keyword search, it takes 23 secs till I get the results. A second account holds around 1100 messages - the answer comes in immediately. Both are the same server, imap etc... How can I speed up the search at the first account? - Delete cache, rebuild mailbox, setting?
