[Dovecot] ot: moving files/dirs from terminal ?
warning, dumb question ahead: I want to re-arrange, rename & create some sub directories below INBOX in my own mailbox; if I use 'mc' from terminal to do so, can that cause me grief...? do I need to ?? re-index explicitly?? afterwards ? how to re-index ? or is that a really _B_ad idea, and, I should do it through say squirrelmail client ? thanks for any pointers! # dovecot --version 2.1.1 INBOX mail path /var/spool/mail/vhosts/dom.tld/voytek at dom.tld

Actually I do something like this from the command line with Maildir sometimes. Maybe you cause your client to redownload all messages again, maybe duplicate them or make messages inaccessable.> do I need to ?? re-index explicitly?? afterwards ? how to re-index ?Maybe, it depends on the storage you are using. With mbox and Maildir Dovecot should detect the change and re-index itself.> or is that a really _B_ad idea, and, I should do it through say > squirrelmail client ?That's on the sure side of life. - -- Steffen Kaiser -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQEVAwUBUXD+9V3r2wJMiz2NAQL6Vgf8DtpUM8RdMR8/KXzcF5XBxSSPC2c4H5m8 xOvVwOMAsx5UG4owgkuImJb7ob3PTw2EX32xj1p2/5LyGXK9DD5LLORgAy9DXJ5y Gh51pRSsQ+P67amp62MbgiZIJ7u7mEXOlvZsJyWBfVLSOflwyzR8sPNfpQLpzNSu onLUuhEr4FG6RO1Xo5Yz0Pdgqo5ZgluOJg/GZk7HiC8Vhw4pd44OMi20WZX4RMvR tuYhxUWbVRiYhFNZu2l/r4dvL8r7TK6KwgkFyXVXWakzT5PZvibuvlRWFTTod0j/ lj4vQL1HqzcSH/6QUXST+fW+T2nCJT4mXNQoAIixqKPw6lF/kgTLvg==uNhu -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
