[Dovecot] Purpose of files under .imap

2008-08-06 Thread Kenneth Porter
I've got a user with an unusable account. Tbird just sits in a loop 
endlessly logging in over and over when a particular folder is selected.


What files under .imap associated with that folder can be safely deleted? 
What's stored in all of them?


I see all of these:

.customflags
dovecot.index
dovecot.index.cache
dovecot.index.log
.imap.index
.imap.index.data
.imap.index.log
.imap.index.tree

What Dovecot version? What do you see in Dovecot's logs? Instead of  
deleting move the files so that if it's a new bug that I haven't fixed  
I could take a look at the indexes to see if I can get it fixed.

.customflags


v0.99-only, delete.


dovecot.index
dovecot.index.cache
dovecot.index.log


All of these are safe to delete.


.imap.index
.imap.index.data
.imap.index.log
.imap.index.tree


These are v0.99-only, delete.

So I guess you're using mbox? There it's safe to delete everything. If  
you're using maildir you should keep dovecot-uidlist and dovecot- 
keywords.
