Run mairix first to index the inboxes that don't change, and create that index file. Then run mairix a second time reading only the inbox files that are changing, and create a second index file. It is only this second file that you need to keep updating. When you want to search, run mairix to search the first index file and save its results. Then have it search the second index file with the -a (append) flag to add to the results of the first search. You end up with the combined results of both searches, almost as if it were one big index file. I wrote a little script to do both searches for me. </pre> Ian! D. Allen 2013-02-17T11:35:24 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.mairix.user/184 <pre>I am using mairix to index ~17GB of mbox files (the mairix database is ~730MB) and find that rebuilding the database is becoming sluggish (because the database is completely written from scratch on every update invocation). Since the majority of my mbox files are effectively archives that don't change, having several database files would make updates significantly faster. Has anyone looked at adapting mairix to handle multiple database files, where each database would only need rewriting if any of its input files changed. Alternatively, has anyone looked at using a more traditional database (that allows incremental updates)? </pre> Peter Jeremy 2013-02-17T09:41:19 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.mairix.user/183 <pre>Please ignore my previous request. I now keep an index file, which maps a short hashed version of the ID to the full ID. Once the full ID is found from the index file, it is used in the 'mairix m:ID' search. For those who may be interested, the index file format is like the following: 492a0c 2025726313.87208.1350755963859.JavaMail.javamailuse&lt; at &gt;gmail.com where the first column is the first 6 numbers of the MD5 sum of the message ID. I then can click links in the form of mail:492a0c in my text file and the message with the right ID will be found by Mairix and opened in a terminal window. -----Original Message----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.

I really miss the substring search feature. I have a program that creates a "URL" of a message based on the message ID, which I can use point (almost) uniquely to a message. For example, a message ID &lt;1234567890abc&lt; at &gt;mail.com&gt; will lead to a URL mail:123678abc because I took the first three chars, last three chars and three chars in the middle. With this tag, I COULD find the message by doing mairix m:123=,678=,abc&lt; at &gt;= but no longer so since 0.23. I could use the whole ID, but that would be too long and not necessary (I use these URLs in my text file). So my request is, can you consider adding a switch to the command line to enable interpretation of special chars for message-ID? I know this will create a problem for </pre> LP Bing 2012-10-20T19:43:26 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.mairix.user/181 <pre>I have been using this patch in my own copy of mairix for many years now, and rather than keeping it private I thought it worth sharing. In general, it seems bad to trust the "Date:" header in incoming mails as this is set by the sender and is not always correct (eg. spam, incorrect clock) But when Exim delivers to my mailbox, it adds a Delivery-Date. So if this exists, I use it instead. So inbound mail uses this, while my outbound mail only has a "Date:" header but this is trusted as it was set by me. This makes searching for mails in, eg. last 3 months, work as expected Results are no longer polluted by those with a Date in the future, for example. </pre> Mark Hills 2012-10-11T21:29:09 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.mairix.user/180 <pre>Either you're hitting the per-process memory limit for your account, or your whole computer is running out of memory. If on Linux, run "dmesg" right after it happens and see if there's a message that looks like "Out of memory: Kill process # (mairix)". If so, then your whole computer is out of memory. If not, run "ulimit -a" to view the memory limits being enforced on your shell. Memory limits are usually set in /etc/securitiy/limits.conf, although that may vary in different Linux distributions. jik On 7/17/2012 2:40 PM, David Prothero wrote: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

The reality is probably somewhere in between those two extremes. How much memory does "free" report is available (the last number on the "-/+ buffers/cache" line) when you're not running mairix? Do you have swap space configured, and if so, how much swap is available? You can find out what's using up memory by running "ps aux | sort -k +5n". That'll display a complete process list with the most memory-intensive processes at the bottom. jik ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

Run top or vmstat or the gnome applet system monitor thingie and check the memory usage. If you *are* running out of memory, you may be able to add swap space and have it continue but that is likely to be *very* slow - adding real memory is the only workable solution. E.g. it would take 0.5 hours on my older 1GB laptop with lots of swap space, but with 4GB (and no swap space usage at all) it went down to 30 seconds.
