What's a safe place for the separate index and uidlist files? I am planning to configure Quota/FS. Can they reside under dovecot's basedir? Is this a good idea?
Dovecot's base_dir is usually under /var/run, which some OSes delete at boot. So it's not a very good location for it.
Does it have any significance where I put those files?
No. Some people use eg. /var/indexes. If I have the mail_chroot config parameter set to some dir in the config file and have the home directories set up with /./ ends in the userdb file, do I have to create the directory which holds the index/uidlist files under that chroot dir? Now it seems dovecot can not find the directory which is outside of the chroot (I thought that dovecot opens the index files before it chroots).
