Update of /home/cvs/dovecot/doc
In directory danu:/tmp/cvs-serv1249/doc

Modified Files:
	index.txt mail-storages.txt 
Log Message:
Index opening rewrites. We don't try to support .imap.index-<hostname> style
indexes anymore. They just made things more difficult, and it's really not a
good idea to use index files via NFS anyway.

Added support for :INDEX=MEMORY in MAIL env to disable using index files.
Also if we can't open or create index file for any reason, we now fallback
to in-memory indexes. Before we fallbacked only with out of disk space
errors.

If .customflags can't be created, we still work now by not allowing to
create new custom flags.

 No attempt is made to deal with incompatible index files, they're either
 overwritten or new files are created.
 
-Index file names begin with ".imap.index" or ".imap.index-<hostname>". The

 Indexes are bound to each others by "indexid" field in headers. If they
 don't match, the file is assumed to be corrupted and will be rebuilt.

 Adding :INDEX=<dir> to MAIL environment overrides the default location. The
