This is the same question I asked the list last week. There is no
configuration directive listed on either of the two wiki pages you
linked to above. My system is using Maildir with LAYOUT=fs, and my
clients see the lucene-indexes folder as well, although it is not
selectable.

My ideal case would be to move it to the home directory instead of the
mail root directory, but I think the best option would be for it to be
configurable similar to INDEXes, etc.

I can make an attempt at a patch, but it will take me a while to get up
to speed on dovecot sources...

Thank you,

Greg
