Is there a way to tell the dovecot mbox_snarf plugin to use an
alternate location for the index/cache files? It doesn't seem to want to use
the INDEX variable. I'm guessing the answer is no because of all the
ties in lib-storage/index/mbox/*c to the directory where the file(that is the inbox) lives. The filesystem where I keep the inbox file doesn't have a directory
for the user to own. The user only owns the mbox file.It's not possible to specify the index location because of how the plugin has been implemented. The best you could easily do by modifying sources is to disable indexes for INBOX. Other than that it would require larger changes, perhaps a full rewrite.
That's what I gleaned from the source. For now, I will go forward with
adding another 300k files to the filesystem..
Thanks, Jonathan
