Is there a way for setting up dovecot in such a way that a user can

Hi,

We use snapshots for this

namespace snaps-h-2 {
  prefix = INBOX.EmailBackup.h-2.
  hidden = no
  list = yes
  inbox = no
  location = 
maildir:/home/.snapshot/hourly.0/%u/Maildir:INDEX=/var/tmp/dovecot/indexes/hourly.0/%u:CONTROL=/var/tmp/dovecot/control/hourly.0/%u
  type = private
}
