If you do that, though, you have to put your INDEXES somewhere else.
Otherwise you get warnings like this:
dovecot: Error: IMAP(user at example.net): open() failed with file
/domains/example.net/user/mail/.
Trash.DeleteMe/dovecot.index.log: Not a directory
It's not a directory, obviously, because .Trash.DeleteMe is the mbox
file.
