my first question is : does postfix and dovecot are able to use an encrypted filesystem such as Encfs?
dovecot and postfix are userland-applications it's not their job to bother about a filesystem this is a kernel-task
Not all userland applications work equally well with all filesystems (consider programs which work poorly with NFS because they are built around the assumption that certain syscalls are fast).
That assumption is somewhat optimistic and - thus - these applications are obviously buggy.
Since Dovecot works on NFS, it should work with almost all filesystems and (relatively) slow ones too. And MTAs (like postfix) are also build for (and used in) large systems so they should better work on NFS and slow I/O too.
