My main impetus is that I'm moving to multiple computers, and need access to the same email on all computers. Your solution is pretty interesting (and further clarifies how all this works), though of course there are a few drawbacks. I'm not too concerned about propagating message deletion (I've never gone above 20% usage on my gmail accounts), but I'd have to think about moving messages between groups, and how badly I would want that propagated. So even with a single account, I would still need a single dovecot invocation for each mailbox, is that right?
