Any particular reason to Not keep the indexes on the dovecot server?

I have been running with home directory on Solaris 9 (sparc) nfs and
the indexes on the imap server Solaris 10 (sparc).

default_mail_env =
maildir:%h/Maildir:INDEX=/opt/csw/var/dovecot/indexes/%n

I have not noticed any problems and I have moved hundreds of messages
around to different subfolders looking for a problem.  I have all of
the files that you had listed.  Some are on Maildir and some are on
index folders.
