I see for example that one "LOGOUT" command takes 2000 volcses, which I doubt is true. More likely it's counting something that happened before the LOGOUT, like probably doing a mailbox synchronization. Attached a new version of the patch that also logs volcs for syncs.

Ok, i'll apply this patch to both running servers doing logging.

Sorry, my mistake. It's not dovecot, it's our LDA (not dovecot) thats making the dir (which means we now get an error if a user logs in and they have never had email.. but that never happens since we mail them on signup..interesting little problem :)
