I'd think you should be able to run doveadm expunge -u user@domain mailbox foo uid 5,10,100,101,102,etc. That shouldn't be much slower than rm'ing them. > My actual question as stated was what happens if I just rm those files... > if Dovecot will be okay with it, figure out that the mailboxes don't match, > and fix the index and cache files.

How about using doveadm deduplicate command instead?
