dovecot - Aug 2014 - rebuilding indexes for dovecot pop3

Hi.

doveadm -D fetch -u login \
    'imap.envelope imap.bodystructure size.virtual date.received'
'*'

according to mail archives allows to regenerate indexes and precache specified 
headers for imap usage.


What headers are needed for dovecot pop3 daemon?

I have one server where dovecot works for imap only. For pop3 there is 
different software being used. I want to migrate to dovecot pop3 but I need to 
precache and regenerate indexes for dovecot pop3.

Note, some users used pop3 only, so dovecot imap had no chance to generate any 
indexes.

Thanks,

The only thing that POP3 needs is the UIDL. So depending on your
pop3_uidl_format setting you may or may not need something indexed. But you
could just fetch pop3.uidl and that'll figure it out automatically.

Make sure to preserve the UIDLs to avoid users redownloading mails.
