Are indexes temporary files ? Should i migrate anything in my existing setup !
If you are using an Imap only setup, I think that you have no need to migrate anything; all the needed files will be recreated when needed in the new location. But this may cause a little overhead on the system, so if your system is big, migrating the files may help.
If you are using also POP3, and if some users use the "leave messages on server" thing, you need to migrate the dovecot-uidlist files, or they will download all their messages again.
Nad finally should i create a directory for every user in /var/dovecot/ ?
Yes, and they should be owned by the users.
Here you have an example from my setup:
$ find /var/dovecot/lgstosej/ /var/dovecot/lgstosej/ /var/dovecot/lgstosej/.INBOX /var/dovecot/lgstosej/.INBOX/.imap.index /var/dovecot/lgstosej/.INBOX/.imap.index.data /var/dovecot/lgstosej/.INBOX/.customflags /var/dovecot/lgstosej/.INBOX/dovecot.index.log.2 /var/dovecot/lgstosej/.INBOX/dovecot.index.log /var/dovecot/lgstosej/.INBOX/dovecot-uidlist /var/dovecot/lgstosej/.INBOX/.imap.index.tree /var/dovecot/lgstosej/.INBOX/dovecot.index /var/dovecot/lgstosej/.INBOX/dovecot.index.cache /var/dovecot/lgstosej/.INBOX/dovecot-keywords /var/dovecot/lgstosej/.INBOX/.imap.index.log /var/dovecot/lgstosej/.sent-mail /var/dovecot/lgstosej/.sent-mail/dovecot.index.log /var/dovecot/lgstosej/.sent-mail/dovecot.index /var/dovecot/lgstosej/.sent-mail/dovecot.index.cache /var/dovecot/lgstosej/.sent-mail/dovecot-uidlist /var/dovecot/lgstosej/dovecot-uidlist /var/dovecot/lgstosej/.customflags /var/dovecot/lgstosej/subscriptions /var/dovecot/lgstosej/.Trash /var/dovecot/lgstosej/.Trash/dovecot.index.log /var/dovecot/lgstosej/.Trash/.imap.index /var/dovecot/lgstosej/.Trash/dovecot.index /var/dovecot/lgstosej/.Trash/dovecot.index.cache /var/dovecot/lgstosej/.Trash/dovecot-uidlist /var/dovecot/lgstosej/.Trash/dovecot-keywords /var/dovecot/lgstosej/.Trash/.imap.index.data /var/dovecot/lgstosej/.Trash/.customflags /var/dovecot/lgstosej/.Trash/.imap.index.tree /var/dovecot/lgstosej/.Trash/.imap.index.log
