I absolutely agree. In my opinion it is not the problem of dovecot if my mount points exists or not. If the only purpose is to track if a user already existed or if its a new user for whom directories and mailboxes have to be created. Or are there other use cases I just read http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Mountpoints.

As pointed out in http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2012-January/063419.html there might be problems for dbox mailboxes, if the indexes are stored on a different mount. What's the point in doing that? It would be great if there was a way to just disable the mount point tracking if I don't store indexes on different mounts and don't use the dsync replication feature, even if it's just a compile time option.

Cheers, Steffen
