I get a few messages of this ilk each day:

That is not an error, but it usually happens because of an error. Doesn't it say anything else? It basically means that dovecot.index file was recreated for some reason (it was corrupted or deleted).
One day I'll get rid of that error message unless the change really was unexpected..
I usually address this by deleting dovecot.* in the directory of issue. I was thinking that I could instead just have the server delete these files and attempt to recreate them, and skipping that error message unless the re-created files are also corrupted.
Deleting the files shouldn't make any difference, because that message just said they were recreated. Or does it keep breaking unless they are deleted?
