The usage of dovecot-uidvalidity* files?
After installing a new server with dovecot 1.2.4, I found there is some new dovecot-uidvalidity* files in user's Maildir directory. However, I did not see such files in other servers with dovecot 1.1.2 (around 2008/07). What is function of those files? What will happen if I delete that files? I am curious why need to keep 2 files: dovecot-uidvalidity dovecot-uidvalidity.4aa4fa4c since t...

Shared subscription, acl-list and uidvalidity(s)
...ons I first connect (in Thunderbird) to dovecot with user 'hummel', then with user 'doveimap'. The following files are created in /path/to/public/ : -rw------- 1 doveimap doveshared 40 Jan 30 14:03 dovecot-acl-list -rw------- 1 hummel doveshared 8 Jan 30 14:03 dovecot-uidvalidity -rw------- 1 hummel doveshared 0 Jan 30 14:02 dovecot-uidvalidity.4982fa7a I've got my own idea about what they're used for, but can you explain what they are supposed to be ? I guess the uidvalidity files are UIDVALIDITY, not for the mailboxes the namespace holds (since my under...

Why is "UIDVALIDITY changed" fatal?
..."AutoSpam" and "Trash" that pruned using Washington's "mailutil" automatically every so often. Of course, Dovecot's indexes will become invalid in such cases, but they seem to get rebuilt automatically OK. However, in some cases UW-IMAP seems to change the UIDVALIDITY value (not sure why!) and when Dovecot tries to sync it notices this and gives up with a fatal error on opening that folder. Opening the folder a second time is then OK. I was wondering why Dovecot can't just rebuild the indexes silently in such cases (which seems to be done by returning &...

Manually creating dovecot- files after isync/mbsync mirror
...ng and mirroring mail from an external party's IMAP server to a local Maildir, which will be accessed by Dovecot 2.0.9. In order to prevent IMAP clients from re-downloading their mail, when connecting to Dovecot, I'm busy writing a script to generate appropriate dovecot-uidlist and dovecot-uidvalidity files, per Maildir. isync stores the uid in the filename, so that's extractable, per message, and the uidvalidity and current max uid are stored in a file .uidvalidity, in each Maildir. I've read the docs here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir Regarding the dovecot-uidlist...

More detail re dovecot-uidlist and -uidvalidity files
...this, please. How would omitting the global uid field, beginning with G, affect remote clients' syncing of mail? Is this field mandatory? Would "3 V$uid_validity N$next_uid" be sufficient to ensure that clients don't re-download everything? I also see that Dovecot's dovecot-uidvalidity is of the form 4df8a4e2, whereas the IMAP syncing utility which I'm using (isync) uses an integer. I'd appreciate it if someone could elaborate on what Dovecot uses and whether I need to convert one to the other (ie. after syncing with isync, do I need to convert it to work with Dovecot? T...

Bug in 0.99.14 mbox handling - mail UIDs are renumbered without bumping UIDVALIDITY
...email's UID as a key; thus, if the UID of a particular email were to change on a server then the client's cached state would be invalid. To cope with the case that the UIDs need to be invalidated, whether because the original store has been lost or for some other reason, there is also the UIDVALIDITY number. This 32bit integer must be increased to some higher value to indicate that any previously cached email ids are now invalid. In Dovecot-managed mbox files, this number is stored in the X-IMAPbase header in the first message of that mbox and is typically the uid-invalidation time expresse...
