Hello,

I can't  locate the dovecot.index in my ~/Maildir

[root at fedora-p24 Maildir]# ls
cur                  dovecot-uidlist               new
dovecot.index.cache  dovecot-uidvalidity           subscriptions
dovecot.index.log    dovecot-uidvalidity.4b1e77ef  tmp

Where is the dovecot.index ?
This tutorial http://wiki.dovecot.org/IndexFiles tells that I should find it where the other indexes are by default under ~/Maildir


I don't understand the IMAP UID
 mapping
[root at fedora-p24 cur]#
 ls cur
1260490526.M622249P1489.fedora-p24.local,W=582:2,S
1260491930.M172649P1524.fedora-p24.local,W=675:2,S
1260492827.M414655P1561.fedora-p24.local,W=3390476:2,S
1260539343.M690611P1736.fedora-p24.local,W=665:2,S
1260539406.M725730P1746.fedora-p24.local,W=655:2,S
1260539465.M446296P1750.fedora-p24.local,W=689:2,S

The IMAP UIDVALIDITY is 4b1e77ef (in HEX)
[root at fedora-p24 Maildir]# cat dovecot-uidvalidity
4b1e77ef

4b1e77ef(HEX) = 1260287983 (DEC), I don't see in the filenames the IMAP UIDVALIDITY in HEX or
 DEC

This tutorial tells me that I should http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir
Please explain me why ?
