If you do delete the files directly, you will need to reconstruct the

It'd be MUCH better to do all the access through IMAP, like you're
supposed to ;)
Thank you both Rob and James for offering suggestions. I will write
the script to do imap. I tried the reconstruct method just for curiosity
and I have a quick question. Lets say there is a folder like this:
/var/spool/imap/user/firstuser/Spam/
1. 2. 3. cyrus.cache cyrus.header cyrus.index
If I delete messages 1. 2. and 3. then run
$ rm 1. 2. 3. && reconstruct -r user.firstuser.Spam
Are the next emails which get stored in that directory supposed to be
1. 2. 3. or will they be named 4. 5. 6. onwards?
