dovecot - Apr 2008 - Index maintenance

Hi.

I am unable to find information about what happens to the index file if I
use something like the cron script at the bottom of
http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Expire

There must be some information in the index that is no longer needed. When
and how will Dovecot clean this up?


Thanks,
Anders.

A similar question is whether the expire plugin will help me at all, when
it is only used for folders that receive new messages each day?

Will the expire-tool give me the index maintenance that I am looking for?


Thanks,
