Dovecot needs a directory where it can store indexes and other mailboxes with IMAP. See bottom of http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation
OK! I undestend it. But now I have other problem.
My mailboxes placed on NFS dir (not root). After some time of work dovecot, this directory stay as unavalible. For example, /mnt/auto/home is NFS directory, /mnt/auto/home/nouser/spool/mail - mailbox directory. After some time I get not avalible /mnt/auto/home/nouser/spool/mail directory, but other top NFS directories (/mnt/auto/home/nouser/spool, /mnt/auto/home/nouser, ...) is good.
I think, this problem in lock mailboxes. I try fcntl and dotfile lock methods, but this problem present both. :(
dovecot-0.99.11-2.EL4.1 from RHEL4.
I don't really understand what you mean by "not available", but in any case with 0.99.x you must not store indexes in NFS as that won't work. You'd have to disable them completely by appending :INDEX=MEMORY to default_mail_env setting.
