Timo,
If it happens again, please make a copy of the files before deleting.
It's a lot easier to debug these bugs if I can see the dovecot.index
and dovecot.index.log contents.
I will do - have asked my sysadmin to make backups the next time it happens.
Perhaps dovecot could try the fix but if it still fails just go and
delete the indexes itself?
It's not really possible to delete indexes automatically because of a
crash.
May I ask why? This is bascially what we do manually if we encounter a
corrupt, unrepairable index and it seems to work fine with no noticeable
negative impact.
Dan
