Hi all,
I run a mail server on Maildir.
Does Dovecot work correctly if I delete the mail files stored in
Maildir? Do I need to run the doveadm command?
I want to run a virus scan on Maildir. When a virus is detected, the
mail file is deleted without notifying Dovecot. I assumed this was
incorrect behavior for Dovecot.
Please help me when someone has time.
Thanks,
Masa
Hi, if you just delete mailfiles in maildir
dovecot does not update its index at once
it "may" it repair later , delete with doveadm is the right way

Maildir is special case in the sense that dovecot assumes that there might be
external changes, so indexes are synced when the mailbox is opened the next
time.

this may not work all the time, in special if you very have big mailboxes
