I mean 'Maildir Performance' section, not 'mbox Performance' - according to it 
all that POP3 needs is in dovecot-uidlist file(with v.1.1), so I assume that 
index files are not needed at all for POP3-only and v1.1(no matter if users 
keep their mails on server or not), and I just asked if I am right, because I 
am not completely sure about it.
So maybe you also should read it again :)
