[Dovecot] Index files in .imap directory

[Steven F Siirila]

A few RC releases ago we had a problem where a user's restored home directory
contained a .imap folder either from a previous RC release or perhaps it was
a different server.  In any event, restoration of the user caused problems
since Dovecot choked on the restored .imap index files.  Removing those index
files cleared the problem.  I'm wondering if this is still an issue, and
therefore whether we need to find and remove all .imap folders prior to
archiving users, so that they are not restored with potentially old/bad
index files.  I would like to NOT have to worry about them, but rather have
Dovecot be smart about when to simply re-create them if it detects something
it does not like about them.
