I want to know if there is any virtual server functionality in Dovecot? I would like to have two separate configurations, that access the same email, running in the same Dovecot instance. They would bind different ports and/or IPs, but have different authentication settings. In particular, one

I wouldn't worry about *duplicate cache* as far as disk goes at all. This duplicate cache is only going to benifit your vm, if the host machine has enough left over ram. If the host machine doesn't have enough ram, there won't be any cache to worry about. I think this also only applies
