i saw that:

3. Only /var/mail mboxes

With POP3 it's been traditional that users have their mails only in 
/var/mail directory. IMAP however supports having multiple mailboxes, so 
each user has to have a private directory where the mailboxes are 
stored. Dovecot also needs a directory for it's indexes unless you 
disable them completely.

I have no plans to support INBOX-only IMAP. If you only need POP3, you 
might then as well use another POP3 server. Dovecot isn't anything 
special as a POP3 server.



:o(
my users dont have thier own homedirectory, only a mbox.
