I'm using mdbox.
What's the consequence of deleting dovecot.index.* from all folders?
All mail gets lost or I can rebuild the indexes and get the mails?

You will lose flags, such as \Seen. But mails should come out intact.

Thank you for this fast (and comforting) response.
All the previous mails disappeared after I deleted the files. What do I need to do to get them back??

Is there a way to mark all mails older that today as "Read" in all folders?

Yes, via the doveadm flags command
man doveadm-flags for more info
Something like:
doveadm flags add -u username ‘\seen' mailbox “*” SENTBEFORE 17-Jun-2019
(Not tested, but along those lines, I can’t find real world examples outside of man pages)
