This depends on your settings. If you use ~/ in shared user's location, Dovecot needs to do a userdb lookup to find out the user's home. Otherwise it doesn't need to do it, so it doesn't. > That's interesting. It seems it could lead to confusion and perhaps this > is not desirable?

That wouldn't currently work for shared mailboxes anyway, because typically you'd have separate :INDEX= directory in the shared mail_location. I guess in future something should be done about this..
