No, if that was done the symlinks would point to themselves. ln -s behaviour
looks a bit weird if you're not doing it from the destination directory :)

Ah, and this was because I was stupid and set the default umask to 0700
instead of 0077 :) You could fix this by uncommenting the umask-line in
dovecot.conf.

btw. 0.95 also has problems with bad network connections or large mailboxes,
I'll probably release 0.96 soon which fixes it.
