Every simple fix I tried would only make things worse. I finally traced the issue to a bad interaction between Mail, the IMAP server, and the iPhone. I'm not sure which of these is ultimately responsible, but somehow, one of the three would use a different location for one of the special mailboxes. email iphone mail.app mac osx 2009-05-26T00:41:17Z http://sphinxsearch.com/docs/current.html#sphinxql jbnewland Starting with version 0.9.9-rc2, Sphinx searchd daemon supports MySQL binary network protocol and can be accessed with regular MySQL API.
