Yes, but I'm thinking about putting mails in different places, for instance:

unread mails are delivered to server1
read mails go to server2
old mails go to server3...

question 1: can we set more than one alternative storage place (cf alternative_storage in dovecot wiki) ?
question 2: can we split deliver, then ?

I read something about replication, but does not feet my needs.
Also, delivering in other places is not a pb, the issue resides in fetching the good emails. May I do it using namespaces ? How ?
