ok, then INDEX=~/virtual is ok ?

this result in

Debug: maildir++: root=/etc/dovecot/virtual,
index=/usr/local/virtual/domain.com/user at domain.com//virtual, control=,
inbox=

at my setup

the double slash might not hurt , but how setup to avoid it?

 it would work really badly

??? didnt understand this please explain

. But still, I'd suggest using pop3_uidl_format=%f instead (or %g is the
same thing). In virtual mailboxes the UIDs are a bit more likely to
accidentally change, while %f/%g is based on the backend maildir
filename which will never change even if you delete the virtual index files.

ok i change back to pop3_uidl_format = %g

 Debug: maildir++: root=/etc/dovecot/virtual,
index=/usr/local/virtual/domain.com/user at domain.com//virtual, control=,
inbox=
