Dears,

I recently installed the package dovecot-fts-xapian on my Ubuntu 22.04 VM, 
where dovecot 2.3.16 is installed.

I enabled the plugins

mail_plugins = $mail_plugins fts fts_xapian

plugin {

    ###
    # fts
    fts = xapian
    fts_xapian = partial=3 full=20

    fts_autoindex = yes
    fts_enforced = yes

    #fts_autoindex_exclude = \Trash

    # Index attachements
    fts_decoder = decode2text
}

I skip to show the "service indexer-worker" and "decode2text" for the moment.

After restarting dovecot I ran

doveadm index -A \*

which ran without any issues. But for the moment I am faced with two issues I 
am unable to solve on my own and also didn't found a solution on the internet:

1. The indexer created a new directory "xapian-indexes" in the user's mail folder (where also 
"INBOX", "Drafts", "Sent", ... exists), with the result that you can see this folder in 
Thunderbird and GMail Android App. How to hide / disable the folder to mail programs, IMHO no mail program should have 
access to it.

2. When listing the capabilities of my mail server I get "CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 
SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SPECIAL-USE LITERAL+ AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN" 
and it seems to lack the FTS capability(s). Am I right? And should dovecot set the 
capabality on its own or is something missing in the config?

If you need more info, just let me know please.

Thanks and kind regards
Torge
