[Dovecot] W= fixup feature
Hi,
When there are maildir mail files without W= tag in name then dovecot opens them, read data inside to calculate W= size, cache that information etc.
Would be it sensible to have option where dovecot would fix names of such files?
Like if no W= then after calculating size rename file to actually contain W= ?

The W= is in the file's "base name". The base name can't be changed without causing the file to be thought of as a new message, and you don't want that. So no, the W= can't really be added to existing files.
But for such files, Wsize is added to dovecot-uidlist with v1.1+.
