How much worse is the mail_nfs_index=yes? Last I heard it made hardly a
difference.

That shouldn't make a noticeable performance difference. If it's "yes"
it does one more uidlist lookup, but pretty much always the uidlist is
already in memory in any case so it doesn't matter.

Dovecot doesn't care about atimes, so feel free to disable them.

It's not the worst that can happen, but index file errors are probably
more likely than other errors..
