could you help me understand the 'doveadm expunge' feature better?

If a Maildir has 20 thousand messages and user is reading it over IMAP I have a suspicion it is not a good idea to be rewriting the dovecot index and cache at the same time.

Should I temporarily prevent login (e.g. with passwd-file deny) and then kick them before the expunge?

Hi. Could someone please drop me a hint? I have 309 users that will be very angry with me if their Thunderbirds start displaying 0 messages :(

Thanks.
