[Dovecot] Maildir structure question

Hello,
About the INBOX location when using maildir, in the wiki,
http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir, I can read:
"
Directory Structure
~/Maildir/new, ~/Maildir/cur and ~/Maildir/tmp directories contain
the messages for INBOX. The tmp directory is used during delivery, new
messages arrive in new and read shall be moved to cur by the clients.
"
But in my Maildir, I see this:
niko at petole:~$ ls -la Maildir/
total 144
drwxr-xr-x 35 niko niko 4096 2009-02-06 08:37 .
drwxr-xr-x 25 niko niko 4096 2009-02-06 10:26 ..
drwxr-xr-x 5 niko niko 4096 2009-02-06 09:16 .INBOX
...
There are no 'cur', 'new' and 'tmp' directories in ~/Maildir, as written
in the wiki, but instead this .INBOX directory which contains these
'cur', 'new' and 'tmp'.
Is this expected ? Thanks.

petole:~# dovecot -n
