Hello,

In some conditions with FTS enabled I get this warning:

Warning: Expunged message reappeared, giving a new UID

Here is how I can reproduce it:

I have a test setup with a (postfix) virtual alias multi-alias@example.com which delivers emails to user1@ and user2@

If then the warning fires.

• I send an email to multi-alias@
• expunge user1@ mailbox with doveadm expunge -u user1@example.com mailbox Inbox ALL

If then no warning.

• FTS plugin is disabled (I tried with squat and xapian), or
• multi-alias@ redirects to only user1@
• I send the email directly to user1@

Can I just ignore the warning ?
