Timo, a follow-up on this...

Thunderbird has a 'Quickfilter Toolbar' with a little searchbox that 
applies a filter of the current folder message view pane (to show you 
only messages in the pane that meet the criteria specified). The default 
criteria that are selected are just 'Sender', 'Recipients' and 
'Subject', but you can also select 'Body' (and a few others like 
'Unread', 'Contain attachments', etc), but the 'Body' criteria is the 
one that would want/need to use the fts indexes, so...

Can dovecots fts indexes be used in a case like this? In other words, 
will it 'just work'? Or will it *not* work? Or, would the client need to 
specify the folder in the commands it sends to limit the search and/or 
results to just the currently selected folder? Or is this even possible 
for such a simple/limited use filtering mechanism?

I don't have a dovecot test server set up yet, but even if I did, I 
wouldn't really know what to look for or how to test this myself...

Thanks,
