That's also what I thought but based on my understand and on the documentation of the "mailbox cryptokey generate" doveadm command (https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/MailCrypt#doveadm_mailbox_cryptokey_generate) if you use the "-R" parameter you re-encrypt all the mails with the new key. See the description of that "-R" parameter:

-R - Re-encrypt all folder keys with current active user key

Someone please correct me here if I am wrong...
