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/Index-
       Files
       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.
