Overview
You can use the /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/remove_dovecot_index_files script to remove the Dovecot index logs and cache files from cPanel mail accounts. You could use this, for example, to remove corrupted index logs and cache files or to remove files that lost synchronization during a transfer.
Note:
The Dovecot service automatically regenerates an account’s index logs and cache files the next time an account logs in.
