I mean when you run "idxview dovecot.index”, it actually opens both dovecot.index and dovecot.index.cache (and also dovecot.index.log) and combines all of their contents and displays the merged output. dovecot.index contains only pointers inside the dovecot.index.cache file, but without these pointers the dovecot.index.cache isn’t very usable.
