dovecot - Jul 2009 - How to rebuild index?

I've deleted some mails using my handmade tool, it deletes some files
in "cur" subdir, but deleted messages are still appear in thunderbird.
I believe that's because of stale index file. Is it safe to delete
dovect.index? Or what else should I delete/modify to make TB view in
sync with real state of filesystem?

That shouldn't happen. Dovecot should notice that cur/'s mtime has  
changed and update the index.

If deletion helps, try if "touch cur" helps too.
