Hi Timo,

http://wiki.dovecot.org/IndexFiles explains what the index files
contain. Initially when the mailbox is opened all they contain are
message UIDs (from dovecot-uidlist) and flags (from maildir filenames)
(assuming maildir format).

Thank you for your reply. I understood well.

Thanks, Yoko
