Reindex Zimbra Mail Boxes

Sometimes, Zimbra email server may response very slow.

Reindexing all the mailboxes may solve this.

Run the following shell script as zimbra user.

<code>

#!/bin/bash # Get list of mail accounts and reindex each one for i in `zmprov -l gaa -s server.yourdomain.com` do echo -n "Reindexing $i" # Start reindexing zmprov rim $i start >/dev/null # Check if the rendix is still running for this account while [ `zmprov rim $i status|wc -l` != 1 ] do # Sleep for 2 seconds before checking status again echo -n . && sleep 2 done echo . done

</code>

To reindex a particular user’s mailbox.

run this as zimbra user.

# su - zimbra # zmprov rim username start # zmprov rim username status
