  Not with dovecot - it is self healing and will auto rebuild indexes as
needed.

  Speed issues are client dependent - e.g if you use thunderbird and
leave GLODA turned on .. you're essentially doomed with large mail
folders!! Also clients that store mail for offline reading may do it in
mbox format (thunderbird for example) and they will simply convert your
lovely server into a local mbox .. so turn that off too!!!

  I had a script somewhere to convert mbox to dovecot maildir ... will
dig around and see if i still have it.
