dovecot - Jan 2012 - Resetting a UID

Hi,

 

We've got a client with a Blackberry that hass deleted his emails off his
Blackberry device. The BES won't re-download the messages as it believes it
has already downloaded them (apparently it matches on UID).

 

Is there any way of resetting a folder (and messages in the folder) UID? I
know in courier you used to be able to touch the directory.

 

Thanks,

You can delete dovecot.index* and dovecot-uidlist files. Assuming you're
using maildir.

I doubt Courier would do that without deleting courierimapuiddb.
