check for metapartion in your imapd.conf man page:
metapartition_files: <empty string>
Space-separated list of metadata files to be stored on a
metapartition rather than in the mailbox directory on a spool
partition.
Allowed values: header, index, cache, expunge, squat
metapartition-name: <none>
The pathname of the metadata partition name, corresponding to spool
partition partition-name. For any mailbox residing in a directory on
partition-name, the metadata files listed in metapartition_files will be
stored in a corresponding directory on metapartition-name. Note that not
every partition-name option is required to have a corresponding
metapartition-name option, so that you can selectively choose which
spool partitions will have separate metadata partitions.
