Automatically rebuild indexes support in evolution
Last modified: 2021-05-19 11:31:00 UTC
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=194395 There appears no way of re-indexing the database.I suppose it all boils down to having a re-index database option on the menu OR the mail files are inspected for continuity on start-up. Evolution - in a commercial sense lack the ability to undo this situation by having a re-index or rebuild (better) option at either start-up or via activation as we both agree that a large number of folder and large number of emails can cause this. I currently have email corruption and I cannot solve without rebuild- or reindex. Just imagine 1 financial years correspondence, tasks, appointments, name and addresses becoming corrupt. We need a re-index or rebuild tool !
The ability to automatically rebuild indexes can be added as a command line parameter as per comment#8 in bnc 194395 This bug also reports same issue https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=210505
Bumping version to a stable release.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new enhancement request ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
