I mean 'Maildir Performance' section, not 'mbox Performance' - according to it all that POP3 needs is in dovecot-uidlist file(with v.1.1), so I assume that index files are not needed at all for POP3-only and v1.1(no matter if users keep their mails on server or not), and I just asked if I am right, because I am not completely sure about it. So maybe you also should read it again :) Regards, Arvids
