Hello,

my users have sent messages in "Itens Enviados" (portuguese) folder, created by OutLook. I've moved all messages from ".Itens Enviados\cur" to ".Sent\cur". Messages are not appearing on webmail and mail clients (IMAP). But, on the server, all files are in there, with correct permissions and owner.

How can I "resync" the folder, to show the moved messages?

Thank you.

Webmail only shows 2 messages (server is named Juno). The old server is Mercurio.
All messages have the same permissions. I dont know why don't show them...

Hello Michael,

thank you. I found the solution in another forum. The problem is that I need to delete the files "dovecot*" from the .Sent folder, to force Dovecot reindex the folder in the first access. The problem was "dovecot.index.cache" file in special. Deleting the files, all messages appear.

Thank you.
