So, I create a parent folder /var/spool/dovecot/indexes that has the appropriate permissions for writing by all users/dovecot. If I then set:
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/spool/dovecot/indexes/%1u/%u
...will the dovecot daemon(s) automagically create (A) the parent user folders (i.e. .../indexes/t/tengel/)(1), and (B) the necessary subfolders for all the child folder indexes? (i.e. .../tengel/.Lists.Dovecot/)
Most of the doc info seems to revolve around moving your indexes if you use mbox, I'm a little fuzzy on what happens with Maildir when you attempt this.
How about just trying it in a test installation? :) The answer is anyway "yes, they're created".
