Many useful things come of that 'feature' beside making hard/soft links and scripted 'stuff' more manageable: - making it easier to not trash a 'Prayer' Webmail preferences file (stored in IMAP structure). - insuring that the user's 'Sent' and 'Suspects' folders (created with 'unseen' routers) IS visible. Our mailstore is defined per-user in several PostgreSQL fields, from RAID array mountpoint selection on down to whether mbox, maildir, or just a placeholder, (used for dsearch AWL) - each concatenated as required in router/transport set SELECT calls. CAVEAT: *Very* flexible, but not very efficient. Dovecot is also very friendly to SQL in that regard.
