Haven't seen a thread discussing forcing rebuilding of indexes /
cache, so the question is, if these files in a users home directory
were deleted...

...would they be rebuilt by dovecot?
Thank you, B. Bodger

Sure. Although you shouldn't delete dovecot-uidlist and dovecot-keywords, they're not indexes. http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Maildir

Thank you, Timo. One more thing: would you explain the existence of
this file:
-rw------- 1 bb admin 131104 Jun 27 21:32 dovecot.index.log.2
I can understand dovecot-keywords having the old creation date but
dovecot.index.log.2 being old makes me think it's no longer needed.
Under what conditions is it created and should it be kept around?
Thanks, B. Bodger

When .log gets full, it's rotated to .log.2. If there are multiple connections open to the same mailbox, it's useful for next few minutes after the rotation. After that it's not very useful. I've been thinking about getting it deleted automatically at some point, but it's not done yet.
