dovecot.index is updated/created lazily from dovecot.index.log to reduce
disk I/O. Your dovecot.index.log hasn't grown large enough yet.

UIDVALIDITY is stored in dovecot-uidlist file's header. The
dovecot-uidvalidity file contains the last assigned UIDVALIDITY value
(or maybe the next one, I can't remember), and it's used only when
creating new mailboxes.
