Dear Colleagues,
I have a fairly vanilla setup of dovecot on FreeBSD, serving IMAP and POP3.
Thunderbird/IMAP works fine, and so does mutt/IMAP.
However, Android clients (Gmail/IMAP and K-9 Mail) have problems
accessing folders other than the INBOX. They either show them empty
with no mails (K-9

I am afraid I don't know the protocol well enough to parse this

do "rm ~/Mail/some/mailbox", will Dovecot be mad at me?

Ah, is this perhaps the reason why my Android IMAP client sometimes takes so
long to list a folder's contents? I must have touched the folder
locally by Mutt and Dovecot is reindexing, is that right?

Communigate Pro has a nice Migration/MoveIMAPMail utility. As
Communigate is free to use for up to five accounts, I think it is
legal to install it and use the MoveIMAPMail utility.
I have used it once to migrate mail from Communigate to dovecot.

authentication and don't want to keep my password in muttrc.
Anyway, my mail is sorted and delivered to ~/Mail/* by procmail, so
the mboxes will be touched by a process outside of dovecot.

My mail goes through procmail, so Dovecot will not be the only one to
touch the mboxes anyway.

The problem is not transmitting them in the clear but keeping them in
the clear in a local file like muttrc, or entering the password each
time you launch mutt.

Do you enter your gpg password each time you launch mutt, or do you
use some kind of gpg agent?

somewhere.
Is it not dovecot caching them?
Nor can I find a way to forcefully rescan an IMAP folder in the Gmail app.

Is this that corrupted index case? It even causes the panic in the

Do I need to change anything in dovecot's default locking setup? Does
it still use lockfiles on mboxes or not? There are some contradictory
parameters IMHO.

This information is probably available in the log, but a file which is
touched each time a user accesses his/her mail, is more convenient.

You could try imapfilter (written in lua), it can move mails between
mailboxes and do other things.
A short example:
oldmails = account1["INBOX"]:is_older(365)
oldmails:move_messages(account1["Old"])

Can you please point me to the right direction to log all SMTP commands?
All is happening on Debian/buster, Dovecot 2.3.4.1.

/dns-operations/dovecot.index.log was locked for 95
seconds (Mailbox was synchronized)
And it really takes forever to finish. What could cause this?
