Can I simply delete the files, don't I destroy any indices or slow down Dovecot operation because of index rebuilding? Keep Dovecot's index files around so that they won't get deleted while Dovecot is trying to read/write them. You won't slow down anything by manually deleting maildir files.
So basically, just moving mail files out (to a learn queue or whatever), from either "new" or "cur" is safe for Dovecot? That would be simpler.
That's what I do. I move them either to a (shared) ham or spam folder, and run the script posted earlier, which processes and deletes them.
