Re: [Dovecot] dovecot.index mtime

...

Is there anyway I can get Dovecot to update mtime on dovecot.index everytime a user successfully checks there email?

Postlogin scripting would work like Benjamin said. Another possibility would be to check atime if you haven't disabled atime updates.

atime is updated everytime I do a backup which is once a week.

protocol imap { # ... mail_executable = /full/path/to/loginscript.sh

I imagine I would need to put this in pop3 section as well?

#!/bin/sh touch $HOME/.dovecot-lastlogin exec /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap

Can I just touch the dovecot.index instead?

Also, I am bit confused. Why must the script exec imap? I imagine $HOME will contain the path to the home directory of the pop3/imap user that just successfully logged in?
