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
