Hello,

I'm configuring dovecot 2.2.28. Comparing with previous versions I have found now in 10-mail.conf the config:

protocol !indexer-worker { # If folder vsize calculation requires opening more than this many mails from # disk (i.e. mail sizes aren't in cache already), return failure and finish # the calculation via indexer process. Disabled by default. This setting must # be 0 for indexer-worker processes. #mail_vsize_bg_after_count = 0 }

I can see that indexer-worker is the index service in dovecot.

But I don't what the '!' means in front of the service name. Any who can explain it to me?

The '!' means the limit is enabled for all other services except indexer-worker. Inder worker is the one you need to complete the background job, so limiting it mightnot be wise.
