Message Indexing
When message indexing is enabled, some additional message meta data is stored in the
database. This can greatly improve browsing speed in large folders when using a webmail
client in combination with server side sort. The performance is achived since hMailServer
can sort the messages by retrieving parsed data from the database, rather than having to
read all files in the folder and parse the content one at a time.
The downside of this feature is that the database size will increase. It’s not recommended
to enable this feature unless you’re experiencing performance problems related to large
folders in web mail.
