HELP, I have experience an issue with the long running IMAP service using
Dovecot 2.1.15.
I have replaced the interface cards (suspected failure), and I have only
recently been able to retrieve my Inbox (1.45GB) via POP3 protocol (I
normally run IMAP)
I am suspecting a corrupted dovecot.index, but which one? I have counted
260 files in my IMAP tree with the word dovecot.
I cannot determine which folder is corrupted with 2.1.5 even with the Mail
Debug option.
How can I recover the use of my IMAP configuration?
Thank you.
If you are using maildir format it should be safe to rm all dovecot.index* files.
It can cause your mailbox some initial performance problems if you have a large mailbox.
