the source does NOT have any index files at all, only the dovecot-uid* files
the target (the account I am testing with) *does* have *two* index files (but not the main dovecot.index file), because they are created when I access the account
So, maybe I just need to delete the index files on the target before accessing it?
Meaning... the index files and the dovecot-uid* files are out of sync (index files are in a state from the last time I accessed the mailstore, before I rsync'd it again, but the dovecot-uid* files are from the state of the mailstore at the time of the last backup).
Would that explain it?
Ah. Maybe. Although they do have timestamps and should refresh automatically if they don't match. But I've heard some problems related to that. Using doveadm force-resync -A '*' could be used to make sure the indexes are up to date for everyone.
