[Dovecot] Just delete that index

I get a few messages of this ilk each day:

Dec 16 01:56:31 aurora dovecot: IMAP(doug): Corrupted index cache file 
/home/doug/Maildir/.users.joe/dovecot.index.cache: indexid changed

I usually address this by deleting dovecot.* in the directory of issue.  I 
was thinking that I could instead just have the server delete these files 
and attempt to recreate them, and skipping that error message unless the 
re-created files are also corrupted.

Any problems with this approach?


Thanks,

Doug
