I assume you mean you're running Dovecot. ;)

With 1.0.13? Not without hacking up the source. Version 1.1 allows you 
to do this:

    mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs

In which case, your mailboxes will be arranged without the preceeding 
dot.

The separator has nothing to do with the backend storage (and 
*SHOULDN'T*).

Not in 1.0.13.
