NAME

   doveadm-dump - Dump the content of Dovecot's binary mailbox index/log

SYNOPSIS

   doveadm [-Dv] dump [-t type] path

DESCRIPTION

   Dovecot  uses  several  binary  index and log files in order to improve
   performance for accessing mails. For  some  mailbox  formats,  such  as
   sdbox  and  mdbox,  the index files are part of the format itself.  For
   details        about        index        files,        see        also:
   http://wiki2.dovecot.org/IndexFiles

   doveadm  dump  is  used to show the contents of those mailbox index/log
   files, in human readable format. This  is  mainly  useful  for  Dovecot
   developers when debugging some problem.
