Thanks Remo,

If by "maildrop" you mean "maildir", I'm using maildir.
Otherwise, I don't know what maildrop is.

My Dovecot setup uses maildir and there's definitely one file per
message. When I type "free" at my Linux command line it just lists
statistics about memory. The doveadm man page doesn't list a command
called "free". So I'm not sure what "free into the new folder" means.

Thanks,
