Did anything like this end up being implemented? We are in the middle of
migrating a bunch of people from local storage (pop) to server side
storage using imap. It would be really useful to be able to tell dovecot
to index a particular maildir after we have copied it onto the server to
save our users opening up their shiny new mail client and clicking on
all their folders and loading up the server indexing a hundred maildirs
at once.
