Dear list,
sorry if I resume this (relatively) old post, but I would like to know 
if someone has some good suggestions/ideas.

A quick recap...
System spec:
- CentOS 6.6 x64
- dovecot-2.0.9-8.el6_6.4.x86_64 RPM package/version
- sdbox mail store

I have two problems:
1) hardlinks are not created when the same email is sent to multiple 
rcpt, nor when sending to the very same user (a non-linked copy is kept 
both in Inbox and Sent)
2) I would like to have an alternate storage and to enable compression 
on it only, leaving the main location without compression. It is 
possible?

Relative to the hard-link problem, I found that not using before_sieve 
and after_sieve solves my problem, so that hardlinks are created 
correctly. However, this is far from ideal because I lose global sieve 
rules (global/defaul rules are only applied when no customized rules 
exist).

Any idea to how to solve these two problem?
Thanks.
