[Dovecot] Extremely custom mailbox locations

[Justin Krejci]

What would happen if you specify the same mailbox location for multiple
users?

User1 = /mailbox/user1
User2 = /mailbox/user1
User3 = /mailbox/user3
User4 = /mailbox/user4
etc

The main problem I see with symlinks is that if message is deleted, it's
only the symlink that gets deleted. Anyway I don't see other choices
than symlinking or moving the messages.
