SEARCH has to open the Maildir. Dovecot has the feature to create 
mailboxes on the fly on access, not only on write accesses. If Dovecot 
wouldn't, you would get lots of "Invalid Mailbox" errors, because -A 
enumerates users, you want to skip.

Actually, if you cannot limit -A with Timo's hints, you might try to 
override the userdb setting via -o command line options with a 
passwd-file, in which you list only "valid" users.

you probably have autocreate for Trash? But you will see Maildir for all 
users anyway.
