[Dovecot] ot: moving files/dirs from terminal ?
warning, dumb question ahead:
I want to re-arrange, rename & create some sub directories below INBOX in my own mailbox;
if I use 'mc' from terminal to do so, can that cause me grief...?
do I need to ?? re-index explicitly?? afterwards ? how to re-index ?
or is that a really _B_ad idea, and, I should do it through say squirrelmail client ?
thanks for any pointers!
# dovecot --version 2.1.1 INBOX mail path /var/spool/mail/vhosts/dom.tld/voytek@dom.tld

Yes, you need to know the internals of your mail storage. Actually I do something like this from the command line with Maildir sometimes. Maybe you cause your client to redownload all messages again, maybe duplicate them or make messages inaccessable.

Maybe, it depends on the storage you are using. With mbox and Maildir Dovecot should detect the change and re-index itself.

That's on the sure side of life.
