Greetings,
I'm converting from a custom POPstore ( > 100,000 messages) which is
Maildir-like and uses the filename as the UIDL and doesn't store it
inside the message. I'm wondering whether there is hope for config-file
options to keep devecot from renaming files when it first sees them,
or whether I'm going to need to create a new backend for dovecot based
on Maildir.
The renaming not only blows my current UIDLs, it seems to upset
Dovecot's indexing,
Cheers!

My POPstore looks like this:
/zdata/domain/%d/folders/%n/{cur, new, tmp}/
and message filenames like this:
msg.yyyy:mm:dd:hh:mm:ss.random
I was able to get Dovecot to see the store by the symlink:
INBOX -> .
Here are the log messages regarding the index warnings:
