# 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
Hello, we're using mail on NFS and the indexes on localdisk, with a director setup. (18K+ users) now to get more performance i thought to use the ITERINDEX option. however this has the side-effect on some mailboxes that it doesn't show the subfolders under INBOX. they seem 'disappeared'. Removing the ITERINDEX option fixes this again.
Deleting the local indexes to be recreated doesn't solve the problem. What could cause this? and how to fix it.
