[Dovecot] Mails manipulation and indices

[Giacomo Cariello]

I've recently manipulated the contents of my maildir, changing the content 
of some mail files (mime handling and such...). This broke dovecot since it 
expected different filesizes while reading contents of files that were 
previously indexed. Therefore dovecot returned some assert like this:

imap(jwk at bug.it): file istream.c: line 163 (i_stream_seek): assertion 
failed: (v_offset <= stream->v_size)

Obviously, the solution was to remove indices and have dovecot recreate 
them. I suppose it would be more "polite" to have this kind of routines 
(i_stream_seek etc) handle this case by requesting indices recreation for 
indices that are no longer "real", instead of just dropping connection with 
some "internal error" message.
