[Dovecot] Nested folders

Thank you. I knew about prefixing with a dot, but I still had my slashes.
Here was my procmail filter before:

.Lists/.dovecot/

But when I put it to this:

.Lists.dovecot/

It works. I knew it was something simple. I also now understand something I 
saw on a mailing list about dovecot not actually creating folders in a 
traditional hierchy sense, but rather all in the top level.  Thanks again.
