Greetings, in backing up mail stored according to

default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u

is it safe *not* to backup the .imap subdirectory ? I am currently using dovecot-0.99.13-3.FC3. When restoring, I guess the safe option would be to zap the contents of .imap so that it gets rebuilt, correct ?

Thank you for your consideration, Davide Bolcioni
