[Dovecot] disable lazy_expunge for some mailboxes?

How to disable lazy_expunge for certain mailboxes? My problem is I have a public namespace, whose mail is on a different filesystem than user mails. Some users are allowed to expunge on this shared mailbox, but lazy_expunge is stopping that from working since the mail has to cross a filesystem b

I'm invoking deliver through postfix with a dovecot transport in master.cf, using the -m ${extension} argument. If I have no sieve script, or a sieve script with an implicit keep, the mail gets correctly filed into the -m mailbox. However if the sieve script has an explicit discard, this gets ho

[Dovecot] dovecot-shared

What are people doing to affect the sort order of mailboxes in outlook? Apple Mail and MS Outlook similarly suck in that they do not sort '~' correctly -- mailboxes starting with '~' are first instead of last. At least I think this is the fault of the client, since Mulberry sorts correctly. At
