I leave that detail to the PM engineer, but most likely a good
opportunity would be the first time the index is accessed, which beside
the moments you describe could be when fetching messages, which contents
are included to be in the index. Messages normally are included into the
index of course, but mail filters may set them not to be.

Yes, that sounds about right Mikael. I would still think that the
beginning of any search would be another good time to check index
validity. But now we're just tweaking our own fine tuning, so I reckon
at this point it's in the hands of CTM to implement it or not.
After they give me my 'Retain Recent Mail between sessions' option, of
course! (Sorry, couldn't help myself).
