Hi,
does it means that if I only use dovecot to read the maidir (pop3 or imap), I
can use this setting ?

Or does it mean that if there is always only one dovecot process reading the
maildir, I can use this setting ?

What happens if I use this setting and I read the mailbox from 2 different webmail ?
