I was going to suggest this ... something to at least go through and
clean up the size flags on Maildir (which seems worthwhile,
especially for people using quotas).
They are not flags, they are part of the base maildir filename. If you
change them, the message shows up as new. And in any case they should
never be wrong..
+ transform messages from one storage format into another, keeping
all IMAP-related information, e.g. to find duplicate or unwanted
messages across mailboxes/users.
Additional to this would be (plugin permitting) to compress Maildir,
or recompress+reindex mbox (Am I right in thinking compressed mbox
can be appended to, but not modified? In which case recompressing
could likely save some extra space.)
There is no compression code in Dovecot right now. But you can use
standard gzip tools to do such things to an existing mbox. Yes, you
can append more messages to it.
