I recently installed the package dovecot-fts-xapian on my Ubuntu 22.04 VM,

I'd suggest dovecot-fts-flatcurve, that's the one which will be in
Dovecot 2.4..
Thank you, I will consider this on upgrade

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.
Not sure how to exclude this - it's not a problem if you use dbox,
only Maildir etc.

Well, I found the info when scrolling through the issue list at 
https://github.com/grosjo/fts-xapian/issues. I had to configure the 
mail_location properly and add INDEX=...

mail_location = maildir:~/mail:INDEX=~/index:LAYOUT=fs

This fixed the visible xapian-indexes folder.

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?
That's a pre-auth capability, you'll get more after login.

Ah, I missed that point. After login the capabilities are as follows and seem 
to include FTS:

A001 OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT 
SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND 
URL-PARTIAL CATENATE UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED 
I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH 
LIST-STATUS BINARY MOVE SNIPPET=FUZZY PREVIEW=FUZZY PREVIEW STATUS=SIZE 
SAVEDATE LITERAL+ NOTIFY SPECIAL-USE QUOTA] Logged in

But the Android GMail app still doesn't find any mails when using the search 
bar in a folder. I'm trying to figure out at the moment, how I could monitor 
the search attempt.
