Re: Version controlled (git) Maildir generated by Dovecot

Or on a testing system I can just stop Dovecot, remove everything that doesn't start with a number and restart Dovecot and connect Thunderbird and see the results. Thank you.

...

Could you please tell me / do you know if those dovecot* files have to be also backed / archived?

IIRC the plain files from cur/ and new/ should suffice.

You can try it: create a new IMAP folder, then close your mail app. Copy some mail files from another cur/ to this imap folder's cur/ directory. Reopen your mail app and see if new mails are fetched.
