The mailbox indexing service log starts with:
2019-10-16 05:39:58,100 [4] INFO - MailEnable Mailbox Search Indexing Service starting.

2019-10-16 05:41:59,456 [9] ERROR - Encountered a problem while attempting to find an index update request: Root element is missing.
and then the last two lines just keep on repeating for days.
Where do I look for the item causing this problem ?

Re: Mailbox search indexing failing
Hi,
Looks like a corruption in the "VerificationState.xml" file for the indexing service. Navigate to: Mail Enable\Config\MailboxSearchIndexing folder. Delete the "VerificationState.xml" file and restart the indexing service.

Re: Mailbox search indexing failing
Thanks. The file was empty so I have deleted it and will see what happens next.

Re: Mailbox search indexing failing
Unfortunately, although indexing started again after deleting the empty xml file, a little while later there was an exception and indexing stopped again:
