OK. Subscribed and voted, but the bug should point to "where to start" in
Dovecot's documentation. Which point would that be? Is it documented how to
remotely manage virtual mailboxes? According to Michael
Slusarz<https://plus.google.com/u/0/109836422377797506418?prsrc=4>this
is not possible and we're misinterpreting the use of virtual mailboxes
by Dovecot...

Who's right?
