Hi,

I am using Dovecot 1.0.0 (will soon update to 1.0.1) using your patch.

This is my mail_location setting:

> mail_location = mbox:~/.imap_mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/mail/indexes/%u

The index for $HOME/.imap_mail/inbox is however created in
$HOME/.imap_mail/.imap/inbox/, while the indexes for other mbox
files are created in /var/mail/indexes/%u, like its supposed to be.

Is this a bug or a misconfiguration on my part?

Greetings, Bernd Kuhls
