IMHO it would be great if it didn't sync all users. We probably av have
hundreds of thousands of inactive users that we would like to sync at a
later point. Also when we provision users that's just an entry in a
LDAP-directory without any files or directories. So dovecot shouldn't
create any directories for these before they've received mail or logged in.
So, ideally (for us), dovecot should keep a log over which accounts are
active (has received or checked mail), and only sync users that has been
active for the last $timeperiode on startup.
