After a (power)crash two accounts have been corrupted.
I tried to rescue things by running force-resync multiple times, but
that didn't work out.
Searching the archives, I found a recent suggestion (by Timo) to delete
the index files, but I'm not sure which files to delete and what the
consequences will be.
When I deleted ``storage/dovecot.map.index'' in an unimportant account
of my own, things only grew worse and I decided to delete the account
and start fresh...
Something I obviously don't want to do with the other account as it
belongs to a client with about 2.5G mails (856 m.* files), which we
don't want to lose.
I have observed the following behavior in the logs:
When a new mail arrives:
(The second line below is always the same, however there's no mail with
uid 12819 according to doveadm search uid 12819)

Besides the nuisance of getting kicked of every time a new mail arrives,
user cannot delete mails (as in: move to Trash).
TL;DR: which files to delete and what will be the consequences?
