Sorry.
The Programm is Outlook 2013 on a Windows 10 PC and it is connect to the Kerio Mailserver with the Offline Connector. The Windows Indexing on the Windows Machine is allways running, but when i will search in Outlook for a Mail sometimes i will get a request and sometimes not. I will start new the Windows Indexing, but no success.
Kind regards
Hartmut

Thanks for the reply. The Windows Indexing Service has _nothing_ to do with outlook or kerio in this case (so far I understand it). The Kerio Offline Client creates a local cache and outlook is connected to it. Like a online IMAP access. Usually the indexing service in outlook indexes the .msg files in the outlook .pst/.ost containers. But with KOFF it works quite different.
Depending on the size of the mail folders and the number of mails, I would do the folling:
- open task manager, full details
- performance > watch the harddisk usage
- start search in outlook
If the HDD goes to 100%, Outlook will be unresponsive in the whole time it searches. If this is the case, check if the antivirus solution excludes the kerio cache folder. The folder can be found in outlook. Data > Options > Account > Email > double click on the kerio entry > Service. There you see the cache folder (and can exclude it in the antivirus real time check) and you can also clear the cache (would be an idea, no mail gets deleted, just newly synced).
Excluding the cache folder from the antivirus WONT disable the viruscheck! Also if the antivirus uses a outlook addin or outlook protection, disable those for the testing time.
After all of that, try it again and watch the disk usage.
If it's still bad, you need to reduce the mails (archive them or external solution like mailstore) OR get a SSD. Just to clarify, if you don't know about the hardware.
A usual harddisk is like a CD/Vinyl - the head needs to jump around on the disk to read the data. If you search for many small files, like mails, it takes quite some time for the HDD to read all the data from the various points on the harddisk. Add data fragmentation to it and it takes a really long time. Even with an index.
So the best way would be, to change the HDD for a SSD. An SSD is made from flash storage like an USB stick. So no mechanical wait time. Just as comparison - a good SATA HDD with ~5k RPM can do around 80-100 i/o per second (input/output). An SSD is around 90k. And without any latency to position the header.
