Whether you use any of them is up to you. As I said, direct mailbox file access will work. However, if you deal with Gb size mailboxes, re-indexing and general mail operations will be painful.
My mail goes through procmail, so Dovecot will not be the only one to touch the mboxes anyway.
Not a deterrent: replace all mailbox recipies with a pipe to dovecot's LDA
:0 ... pattern ... | /path/to/dovecot-lda -d {user} -m {mailbox}
...
# End of file: deliver to inbox :0 w | /path/to/dovecot-lda -d {user}
This will clutter up ~/.procmailrc, but may be I'll try someday.
Now I have encountered a different problem. My Android IMAP client (the Gmail map) shows lots of mails in my Inbox. However, I already deleted those mails locally from /var/mai/vas. They are being cached somewhere.
Is it not dovecot caching them?
Nor can I find a way to forcefully rescan an IMAP folder in the Gmail app.
