<p><i>Squatter</i> creates a new SQUAT index for one or more
IMAP mailboxes. The SQUAT index is a unified index of all of
the header and body text of each message a given mailbox.
This index is used to significantly reduce IMAP SEARCH times
on a mailbox.</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p><i>Squatter</i> creates an index of ALL messages in the
mailbox, not just those since the last time that it was run
(i.e., it does NOT do incremental updates). Any messages
appended to the mailbox after <i>squatter</i> is run, will
NOT be included in the index. To include new messages in the
index, <i>squatter</i> must be run again. For large and
active mailboxes, it is recommended to run <i>squatter</i>
periodically as an EVENT in <i>cyrus.conf</i>(5)</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p><b>NOTE:</b> Messages and mailboxes that have not been
indexed CAN still be SEARCHed, just not as quickly as those
with a SQUAT index.</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p><i>Squatter</i> reads its configuration options out of
the <i>imapd.conf</i>(5) file unless specified otherwise by
<b>-C</b>.</p>

<p>The value of the <b>/vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/squat</b>
annotation is inherited by all children of the given
mailbox, so an entire mailbox tree can be indexed (or not
indexed) by setting a single annotation on the root of that
tree with a value of &quot;true&quot; (or
&quot;false&quot;). If a mailbox does not have a
<b>/vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/squat</b> annotation set on it
(or does not inherit one), then the mailbox is not indexed.
In other words, the implicit value of
<b>/vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/squat</b> is
&quot;false&quot;.</p>
