[Dovecot] Index abuse

[Rick Jones]

How resilient is Dovecot's indexing mechanism? (seeing as it's been 
extensively re-vamped I guess this question may have different answers for 
0.99 & 1.0).

To put it in context, I'm playing with server-side automatic maintenance 
scripts for things like deleting messages more than x days old from folders 
a, b, c, etc. (using Maildir layout). So far I'm just zapping files in the 
cur and new directories and nothing amiss appears to happen from the IMAP 
client's viewpoint.

I just wonder if I'm storing up trouble. Will the index files continue to 
hold references to non-existent files and get bloated, or do they 
self-clean?
