HELP, I have experience an issue with the long running IMAP service using Dovecot 2.1.15. I have replaced the interface cards (suspected failure), and I have only recently been able to retrieve my Inbox (1.45GB) via POP3 protocol (I normally run IMAP) I am suspecting a corrupted dovecot.index, but which one? I have counted 260 files in my IMAP tree with the word dovecot. I cannot determine which folder is corrupted with 2.1.5 even with the Mail Debug option. How can I recover the use of my IMAP configuration? Thank you. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If you are using maildir format it should be safe to rm all dovecot.index*
files.

It can cause your mailbox some initial performance problems if you have a
large mailbox.
