dovecote-uidlist update issue

[Sajawal]

Hi,

Recently my mail folder was mistakenly moved to a different folder from cPanel file manager which I didn't know first. I restored my emails from my backup which was one week old and after two days I found that my mail folder was moved and I just rsync my emails again back to my mail folder from other folder (where my mail folder was moved). Now the dovecote-uidlist contains the emails records of that folder (Inbox, Junk, Sent) and after rsync my dovecote-uidlist file replaced with old file which contains the old email records (new emails are also there but just not being displayed due to dovecot-uidlist file replaced) and is seeing my old emails (before the above incident), I named the file and open my webmail via cPanel and it creates it that file automatically and displays new emails.

Now the issue is that I have 50+ email addresses and all the folders (Inbox, Sent, Junk, Draft and also other folder which I have created) file (dovecot-uidlist) file replaced and it displays now the old emails, is there any other script or any option from where I can rebuild all the dovecot-uidlist file which will display all new and old emails?

Regards,
Sajawal
