Did anything like this end up being implemented? We are in the middle of 
migrating a bunch of people from local storage (pop) to server side 
storage using imap. It would be really useful to be able to tell dovecot 
to index a particular maildir after we have copied it onto the server to 
save our users opening up their shiny new mail client and clicking on 
all their folders and loading up the server indexing a hundred maildirs 
at once.
