I believe that they will.  
certainly suggests that Evolution [Camel] utilizes IMAP SEARCH.  And I
search 100,000+ message folders and get results way to fast for
Evolution to have done the work itself.

I do not believe Evolution indexes the *content* of messages which is
what Cyrus SQUAT does.  And to do so Evolution would need to download
the entire contents of a mailbox - which can be ridiculous for many
mailboxes [due to both size and quantity of mailboxes].

Of course Beagle can index contents of messages but only if they are
stored locally.

[Evolution-hackers] any point in server side indices?

2009-09-08 Thread Ross Boylan 
Cyrus has a facility to maintain indices on the server.
Will such indices help evolution?  I know it tends to build its own
indices, and so suspect the server side indices are irrelevant (I think
it takes an IMAP SEARCH command to access them).

I'm on evo 2.22 on Debian Lenny.

Thanks.
