Perhaps the per-mailbox index files for sdbox and mdbox should be
re-named to "message metadata databases", and the "map index" should

Also it might be an idea to change the filenames of the files to avoid
the word "index".
Perhaps use something like "ddb" instead (means "Dovecot database").
So,
${location}/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index
${location}/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.cache
${location}/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log
${location}/storage/dovecot.map.index
becomes
${location}/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.ddb
${location}/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.ddb.cache
${location}/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.ddb.log
${location}/storage/dovecot.map.ddb
To allow for migration of existing installations, it might be an idea to
make Dovecot look for both "ddb" and "index" when opening, but use "ddb"
when creating new files.
