What are the filesystem requirements for dovecot - for example I see some people are running with atime updates switched off (as I intend to do so myself), so presumably dovecot has no need of an accurate atime implementation.
How about directory atime? ctime/mtime etc?
Only place where atime is used is when listing mboxes. If atime < mtime, the mailbox is returned with \Marked flag. It might be of a small optimization for some clients, but not very important.
ctime is checked with dotlocks, but mtime is as well.
mtime is used in a lot of places and it should be accurate. For both directories and files.
