dovecot - Dec 2016 - Reprocessing MDBOX account to reduce m.* file count

Is there a way to force dovecot to reprocess a user account to refile the m.*
files based on new config for max file size.

Ive got one account at 22k files due to a 2M split.

dsync elsewhere and mv them back?

Hmm, thanks, ile give that a try.

Would be nice (if possible, I have no idea of internals) to have some
in-place method for certain things like this that does not affect any
connected clients, ie they can stay connected and the indexes are
updated while moving all data to new storage files.
