Help setting up a public-inbox instance: importing from maildir archive isn't working

[Rebecca Cran <rebecca@bsdio.com>]

I'm trying to set up a public-inbox instance to mirror the edk2-devel 
mailing list. I'm using version 1.9.0.

I'm having problems importing a mirror of 105,000 messages from 2016 
onward - when I configured it to pull them from an IMAP server it 
appeared to go through all of them, but then the web interface only 
showed the last 10 or so, with no more pages and the edk2-devel.git 
directory is only a few MB.

When imap didn't work, I tried downloading them into a maildir and tried 
importing them via that instead, but that isn't working either.

I was wondering if someone on this list could help point out what I'm 
doing wrong.


The maildir is:


~$ du -h Maildump/
4.0K    Maildump/Mail/cur
4.0K    Maildump/Mail/tmp
2.5G    Maildump/Mail/new
2.5G    Maildump/Mail
2.5G    Maildump/

I'm using the following configuration in ~/.public-inbox/config:


[publicinbox]
     wwwlisting = all

[publicinbox "edk2-devel"]
     address = devel@edk2.groups.io
     inboxdir = /home/public-inbox/edk2-devel.git
     watchheader = List-Id:<devel.edk2.groups.io>
     url = https://openfw.io/edk2-devel
     watch = maildir:/home/public-inbox/Maildump/Mail/
     watch = imaps://imap.example.net/INBOX ; redacted
     indexlevel = full
     replyto = :list
     spamcheck = none
     obfuscate = true


Authentication for the imap server is handled via git-credential.

I'm running the following commands:


public-inbox-init -V2 -L full edk2-devel 
/home/public-inbox/edk2-devel.git https://openfw.io/edk2-devel 
devel@edk2.groups.io

public-inbox-watcher # I run this in a screen session

public-inbox-httpd     # I run this in a separate screen session, once 
public-inbox-watcher appears to have processed the existing messages
