but as I've said (many times now) imap is not an issue here, as primary
use is pop3 and rarely is leave on server used based on some useage
tests over the mail store directories
so it is not a problem, besides, it has to reindex anyway every access
be it pop3 imap or deliver, we just remove some risks to add reliability
since Timo says it is risky allowing multiple servers to access it... 
hell, maybe we too should revert back to Qmail and  vpopmail where this
was never an issue as well as the OP :)

My priorities as  stability and reliability... performance last
