From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Really never had any problems with that. The only mail app I know that made problems indexing mails or keeping the index intact was Microslop Outlook for Mac. Anyways, lean back and search for the fault outside of the software scope. I guess you have either hardware issues or system configuration issues. With any mail app it should also be possible to reindex all mails. If your app stores mails as files you can also just grep the Mail folder and crossreference the E-mail's unique ID and then access it through your app. Also fairmail's search feature always worked flawlessly for me.
Well a lot of shit won't work with normal.email clients these days
I heard good things about emclient many times, but it's not for Linux/BSD,etc...
