If these files are actually named as shown, they have nothing to do
with the Agent.  The agent's files are named .overview and they are
placed in the agent's own directory structure.  I did a 30 sec check
and found that the nnimap backend creates files whose name ends with
.novcache.  You should look there to decide if these can be removed.
