I am a bit dubious about your directory names. In my experience, INBOX
is always at
~/Maildir/{cur,tmp,new}
which in your setup would become
~/.maildir/{cur,tmp,new}
Similarly, folders are at
~/Maildir/.folder/{cur,tmp,new}
~/Maildir/.folder.subfolder/{cur,tmp,new}
~/Maildir/.folder.subfolder.subsubfolder/{cur,tmp,new}
which in your setup would become
~/.maildir/.Subfolder1/{cur,tmp,new}
~/.maildir/.Subfolder2/{cur,tmp,new}
~/.maildir/.Subfolder2.Subsubfolder1/{cur,tmp,new}
