It seems you have not understood what I am talking about. Our
pre-dovecot lda
did not touch the index either. And it did not harm the imap/pop
procedure in
any way. So we know there is no need to fiddle with the index in the
process
of delivery into the maildirs to keep our performance as it was before. 

mail_location   Optionally disable indexes using   :INDEX=MEMORY  

don't use this on IMAP boxes, but is safe to use on SMTP and POP3's
boxes though 

eg: 

mail_location =
maildir:/var/vmail/%Ld/%1Ln/%1.1Ln/%2.1Ln/%Ln/Maildir:INDEX=MEMORY
