[Dovecot] userdb syntax

[suzuki]

Hello,

I have a question about userdb lookup when using expire-tool.

Dovecot version 1.2.15
In dovecot.conf,
  mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/indexes/%u

I run dovecot expire-tool, target user's directory becomes
executing user's one.
According to wiki, userdb setting overrides mail_location.

  userdb passwd {
mail=maildir:/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/indexes/%u
  }

With this setting, it seems working.
But, there are no examples with :INDEX=.. setting.
Is this syntax right?

Regards

 I am testing expire plugin, with quota plugin enabled.
 When I execute expire-tool, maildirsize is not updated.

 Is there any solution to update maildirsize when executing expire-tool?

 # /usr/local/dovecot/sbin/dovecot --version
 1.1.18

 You could try if setting MAIL_PLUGINS=quota before executing expire-tool
 works. If not, you'll need v1.2.

Setting MAIL_PLUGINS=quota did not work.
I tried v1.2, it worked.

Thanks

[Dovecot] changing location of index files

[suzuki]

Hello,

I think changing index files location of mail_location setting
 to reduce disk I/O.
by adding INDEX=/var/index/%d/%1n/%n to mail_location like below,
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/index/%d/%1n/%n

Will this change cause any problems or data loss to existing pop3 users?
There are only pop3 users on this server.
