- POP3 users who keep the mails stored in server. POP3 needs to get a list of all the mails' virtual sizes, which requires reading all the mails' contents. This could be avoided by adding ,W=<size> to the maildir filenames (http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir), although you can't do that for existing mails without causing their UIDs to change.
The wiki doesn't explain how to add the W=<size> to the file names,
There's no way to do that right now. But are you using Dovecot's deliver to store the mails? If not, then Dovecot can't even do that.
It's not clear if the mail_cache_fields are added to both the file names and index cache or what?
It affects what's cached in dovecot.index.cache file.
Perhaps the message size could be stored in dovecot-uidlist file as well when POP3 is used. But this won't happen before v1.0, so it won't help you now..
