[Dovecot] Do index files need removing when upgrading 1.0-stable to 1.0-alpha1 or later?
Hi Timo,
Just a quick question: do index files still need removing when upgrading from 1.0-stable (as in the testXX series) or will Dovecot regenerate them automatically?
I'm expecting to go with 1.0-stable on Tuesday for my 20,000 users (as that's what I've been testing), but if we see lots of index issues, I may want to upgrade to alpha1 (or later) fairly soon afterwards and it would be annoying to have do delete thousands of indexes!
Best Wishes, Chris

The index files have a version number in header and if it's not correct the index is silently rebuilt. -stable and -test versions have different index versions, so the answer is just "yes" :)
