What I am wondering is if there is an IMAP server available that supports the IMAP SEARCH command (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1730#section-6.4.4), and is fast.

I have had a look around at ways that this can be done, including using DBMail to store all of the incoming emails, but to be honest so far what I have found is that most of the IMAP solutions have some sort of downfall - none really seem to be aimed specifically at what I want to do.

For example, DBMail is almost perfect, however it stores attachments in the database. What I would love to have is that inside the database all of the messages (HTML, TXT) are stored, but the attachments are stored somewhere else on the filesystem.

Dovecot should : http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS/Solr I never test solr on it.

  • As Dom says, Dovecot does Solr, but I don't think you are going to find SQL mailstores. About the only example I've seen of something similar was amavisd, you could use an SQL mailstore for viruses and spam.

  • ? I've only heard of using amavisd as a AV scanner milter. Akonadi can use MySQL or SQLite backends - although I'm not a fan.

I've just pushed a very experimental plugin for FTS using ElasticSearch in Dovecot as well.

Although this question is old it's still the top hit for ElasticSearch in Dovecot.
