This doesn't make sense? Why are you playing games like this. dovecot is for IMAP access. So why not use IMAP?
i could but i dont want to use imap because several users use the system and auto removal from the list is nbg. thus pop3 preferred
I don't know what 'nbg' means.
Are you expecting users to both be able to read email from their phones, as well as from their desktop computers, and as well on the mail server using mutt to access the Maildir/ directly?
If so, then we're really not going to be able to help you, since you're persuing a terrible plan which will screw things up. Dovecot expects to be the solve thing in control of the mail store for messages.
Mutt is perfectly happy talking to IMAP even when you're logged into the same system that handles the email. So why change?
If people like to download and save mail elsewhere, then let them do so to their own directories, but keep access to the Maildir/ area limited to just dovecot and postfix (for delivering email INTO the Maildir setup.
I've got more comments in your original messaage.
