I just moved to dovecot with Maildir. I think this is probably a
stupid question, but I couldn't find an answer after an hour of
googling and searching the wiki.
What would happen if I ran a script that did this:
mv ~/Maildir/.folder_one/cur/* ~/Maildir/.folder_two/cur/
My hunch is it might break things.
shouldn't break anything. if the MUA is caching "actions" (happens with
thunderbird at least), then the view in the client will be different but
this is not a big problem (at least for me).
but if it's for backup, why are you moving files?
What if dovecot was stopped?

Where can I find a list of files in ~/Maildir/ and a note on what they
are? (And similarly for a ~/Maildir/.folder)
I'm wondering if everything needs to be backed up, or if I can/should
skip the indexes. What happens if any of these files changes during
the backup? (I'm thinking I shouldn't have to stop dovecot for a backup).
