Sure, that fixes that, but I end up with lots of log messages like:

2017-04-07 11:43:53.958590-0400  localhost log[5770]: (libdovecot.0.dylib) indexer-worker(dluke): Error: Syncing mailbox lucene-indexes/_0.cfs failed: Mailbox isn't a valid mbox file

(and the lucene-indexes "folder" appears in Mail.app, which is going to confuse some of my users)
