i am not clear here, you mean i have to change inbox=yes
in namespace depend on pop3 or imap login?
so this means some split at login process by script etc?
like i.e.
http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting?highlight=(login)

i use sql backend, and have no fields relate to imap or
pop3

like this

driver = mysql
connect = host=localhost dbname=... user=... password=...
default_pass_scheme = PLAIN

password_query = \
   SELECT password \
   FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1'

user_query = SELECT concat('/usr/local/virtual/', maildir) AS home, \
concat('*:bytes=', mailbox.quota) AS quota_rule, \
#when saving to Trash mailbox the user gets additional 50MB
"Trash:storage=50240" AS quota_rule2, \
#when saving to Sent mailbox the user gets additional 50MB
"Sent:storage=50240" AS quota_rule3, \
#when saving to Drafts mailbox the user gets additional 50MB
"Drafts:storage=50240" AS quota_rule4, \
#when saving to Templates mailbox the user gets additional 50MB
"Templates:storage=50240" AS quota_rule5, \
#when saving to Junk mailbox the user gets additional 50MB
"Junk:storage=50240" AS quota_rule6, \
#ignore quota on shared
#"shared:ignore" AS quota_rule7, \
concat('maildir:/usr/local/virtual/', maildir) AS mail, \
1001 AS uid, 1001 AS gid  FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active
= '1'
