Dovecot 2.3.8 - How to force index creation for user/mailbox?

[Dmitry Donskih]

Yes.

mail_location =
maildir:/var/vmail/%Ld/%Ln/Maildir:INBOX=/var/vmail/%Ld/%Ln/Maildir/.INBOX:INDEX=/var-fast/dovecot/indexes/vmail/%Ld/%Ln

rm -f /var-fast/dovecot/indexes/vmail/domain.ru/user/.INBOX/*

doveadm index -u user at domain.ru INBOX

doveadm force-resync-u user at domain.ru INBOX

ls /var-fast/dovecot/indexes/vmail/domain.ru/user/.INBOX/*

/var-fast/dovecot/indexes/vmail/domain.ru/user/.INBOX/dovecot.index
/var-fast/dovecot/indexes/vmail/domain.ru/user/.INBOX/dovecot.index.cache
/var-fast/dovecot/indexes/vmail/domain.ru/user/.INBOX/dovecot.index.log
