dovecot - Dec 2021 - Searching 30 GB mailbox

Why are you still going through Dovecot for this ?

@ 4.5 million messages you could just reprogram your app to search solr
directly, it will return the uid of the message and you can use that directly in
imap uid fetch.

I just realised I'm misreading the return from the search. Redid it and this
is from telnet

3 search header MESSAGE-ID 64jf4CStuxzUvATjBbRVP3IbJnMbEguVXzOa1OSmjIg

Same search from command line

That is a good idea. If this becomes a showstopper, that's one way we 
could solve this.
