dovecot - Aug 2014 - Mail Archiving/Lucene Indexes/mbox

I have a script (available on demand) that moves all my mail for a given
month to a separate NAMESPACE (#ARCHIVE).

When I do that, the lucene-indexes folder in the PRIMARY namespace seems to
get cleaned out, and NOTHING gets put in the lucene-indexes folder
(although it gets created) in the #ARCHIVE namespace.

Is this to spec?

the archiving is done via doveadm move commands.

Thanks!

Do you have fts_autoindex=yes? If not, the Lucene index update is delayed until
the first search is issued.
