It's because there is no easy way to access mailbox GUIDs, so it has to open each mailbox and get its GUID.
Right. I wanted to use the GUIDs because they are spit out on searches. Guess will have to use names then if faster.
Maybe some day mailbox list indexes are created and they offer fast access to GUIDs.
The mailbox GUID is stored in dovecot-uidlist file. If the mailbox doesn't already have a GUID, it's added there.
So if the mailbox would have a current index it would not rebuild it? In other words: Wouldn't the Dovecot Mailing-List be current as it gets updated on every new post presumably? It was also rebuilt...
The mailbox GUID isn't generated until it's requested for the first time. Only dsync and doveadm request it.
