That's not true (in dovecot-1.0.3, at least). I have no problems accessing 
any of the subfolders under my ~/Maildir/, but:

$ find ~/Maildir -name cur | wc -l
18
$ find ~/Maildir -name maildirfolder | wc -l
5

i.e. Only 5 of 18 subfolders have that file. I think the dovecot-created 
folders have it, whereas the procmail-created folders do not. And, as a 
test:

$ find ~/Maildir -name maildirfolder -exec rm '{}' \;

had no ill effect on the visibility of my folders. That said, I also don't 
use quotas of any kind, so I can't speak as to its effects on the '++' of 
Maildir++.

Best,
Ben
