Yes, have been there but this behaviour is confusing me as I find
conflicting information in the wiki:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/IndexFiles
"If index files are missing, Dovecot creates them automatically when the
mailbox is opened."
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox
This data cannot be automatically recreated, so it is important that
Index files are treated with the same care as message data files.
So why do I lose mails if I delete index file but if e.g. a director
connects to a backend with non existing index files yet, they are created.
