OK, that also causes it to read the mailboxes and save the message sizes to cache files.
I expected as much. But just to make sure we're on the same page, after converting a user, only dovecot.index and dovecot.index.log exist in a user's index directory, no dovecot.index.cache. However, all of the user's folders do have indexes, not just the inbox. That is the expected result, correct?
And reading the mail spools? :)
I have the source mail spools on NFS as well.
It could be done pretty easily only for index files by modifying the sources. I guess another option should be added for this.
Fair enough, I'll have a look at this if it does make a significant difference, although I'm trying to keep source changes minimal :)
Depends on how mailboxes are accessed. If message contents are read only once then I guess it doesn't matter. Probably the worst offender here is SEARCH TEXT/BODY command.
Understood... that's going to be nasty though, it's just a matter of degree :)
