My mistake, good point.
I thought that creating the indexes would take a long time, but after a couple of tests, I found that Dovecot is so fast that it beats UW IMAP even while creating the indexes and after that, it is just fast.

I'm curious why this is an issue ? Wont dovecot make the indexes on first use of the mbox if it finds no indexes ?

I have ~500 users, some with HUGE mbox (500MB-1GB), is there a script to create the Dovecot indexes at night to help speed up the migration process.
If you use the dovecot converter then indexes will be built during the conversion.

Good, can I use convert-tool to do: mbox -> mbox + indexes
I have not tested the maildir configs yet and I will have to deal with the number of files and their placement.
