This shouldn't happen if you set mail_nfs_storage=yes.
It is not set to yes. However, it is a mixed environment. 1/3 of the mailboxes are accessible directly on the storage, 2/3 are mounted NFS. What happens to the 1/3 if I set mail_nfs_storage=yes?
Slightly worse performance, but probably not noticeable. It would also be possible to set this value per-user by returning the setting from userdb. http://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields
Anyway, was dovecot designed for this kind of setup?
Dovecot was designed to be as flexible as possible :) Not perfect yet, but slowly getting there.
