OE6 shouldn't do that, unless UIDVALIDITY changes. And it shouldn't
change.

Dovecot should neither do that unless it thinks there's something wrong
with the indexes. Don't you get any error messages in logs?

If it really is rebuilding the indexes all the time without errors, try 
what happens if you use in-memory indexes? ie. add :INDEX=MEMORY to
default_mail_env setting. Although that pretty much requires
0.99.10-test releases since there was some bugs in it before.

And if OE6 reloads everything, check if the UIDVALIDITY keeps changing
in dovecot-uidlist. It's in the first line, middle number.

No, it shouldn't be.
