I'm seeing two bogus messages appearing my Maildir/cur directory. They're dovecot.index.log and dovecot-uidlist.

These files are only appearing in the Maildir/cur directory, and not in any other directory that mail is delivered to (e.g. mail list directories).

does the files re-appear if you delete them?

Yes, but not immediately, and not every time. It "seems" like after you delete them an hour or so passes.


I'm using the current version of Mozilla Thunderbird as my mail client.

Mail is delivered to Maildir/ by procmail.

Do you call Dovecot LDA from procmail?

No.

Could you delete those files and immediatly send a message to that user and check, if the files re-appear?


I was originally using Courier, but changed to dovecot. I did run the conversion program on all the mail boxes.

Maybe, they are left over from this process? Those two files belong into ~/Maildir and not ~/Maildir/cur

mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir


The issue is they keep re-appearing. Other users have reported this as well.

what's the output of

doveadm user -u user

of an user which those files?
