No. Dovecot uses . as mail hierarchy separator. Therefor the box
should be stored as /home/tom/Mail/.antwort.index/cur. Timo is working
on a change that will allow you to use / as separator but the current
release does not support that. You have to change your structure or
wait for the changed release.
