I've deleted some mails using my handmade tool, it deletes some files in "cur" subdir, but deleted messages are still appear in thunderbird. I believe that's because of stale index file. Is it safe to delete dovect.index? Or what else should I delete/modify to make TB view in sync with real state of filesystem?

That shouldn't happen. Dovecot should notice that cur/'s mtime has
changed and update the index.

If deletion helps, try if "touch cur" helps too.
