hi, so after upgrade to the current cvs all of our problem disappear:-) but we don't have time to test the ssl part... although after I compile and install the new dovecot I stop it I do a

This is fine, but as you noticed regenerating indexes isn't very fast :) Also currently Dovecot doesn't behave too nicely if the index gets deleted while it was open.
find /home/*/Maildir -name 'dovecot-uidlist' -exec rm {} \;
There shouldn't be any need to do this. Point of it was that the UIDs will be remembered if indexes are deleted so client doesn't have to invalidate local cache.
find /home/*/Maildir -name 'msgid.cache' -exec rm {} \;
Not created by Dovecot.
find /home/*/Maildir -name '.customflags' -exec rm {}\;
Should never be deleted with maildir. This contains user-defined flag names so it could cause some data loss.
I don't know the exact reason bu I assume dovecot is regenerate everybody's index a other cache at the same time. is there any way to reduce the possible number of IO load? this would be useful if never happend again!:-)
Currently it re-reads all the mails in the directory and indexes them. I'll make this configurable some day.
