Hello,
I can't locate the dovecot.index in my ~/Maildir
[root@fedora-p24 Maildir]# ls cur dovecot-uidlist new dovecot.index.cache dovecot-uidvalidity subscriptions dovecot.index.log dovecot-uidvalidity.4b1e77ef tmp
Where is the dovecot.index ?
dovecot.index is updated/created lazily from dovecot.index.log to reduce disk I/O. Your dovecot.index.log hasn't grown large enough yet.
The IMAP UIDVALIDITY is 4b1e77ef (in HEX) [root@fedora-p24 Maildir]# cat dovecot-uidvalidity 4b1e77ef
UIDVALIDITY is stored in dovecot-uidlist file's header. The dovecot-uidvalidity file contains the last assigned UIDVALIDITY value (or maybe the next one, I can't remember), and it's used only when creating new mailboxes.
