I do not mind that it is an IMAP 'feature'..I DO mind that Dovecot is autocreating it although I told dovecot to only serve pop3 and pop3s!!

It's actually nothing to do with IMAP particularly, but it's how Dovecot stores its indexes/cache to improve performance for all mailbox accesses, whether POP or IMAP. The INBOX is a "special" folder in IMAP, but the only folder in POP ;)
You could have :INDEX=MEMORY (at least with dovecot-1.0-testXX) if you really don't want the indexes to be stored on disk (but there have been bugs in it until recently).
