While reading through the dovecot documentation, I read that I could do without indexes (well: use memory indexes),
Currently that's not really good idea, since message UIDs aren't then stored permanently. In CVS there's support for this with mbox format, and I've also been writing support for Courier-like uidlist-file, but that's still not really working.
My problem is now that dovecot writes it's subscriptions to the mailstore. Since I want as little difference between my frondends as possible, (and as static as possible), I would love to see dovecot handle subscriptions in a database, or perhaps a nfs-safe file.
Database? SQL? Another problem is also .customflags file which isn't NFS-safe. With mbox it's not really required, but with Maildir it is if you want custom message flags. It wouldn't be too difficult to change the code to use dotlock files with these files anyway, I've been going to make it configurable.
