[Dovecot] Alternate mail_location prefix for homedir

Hi,

I'm switching from UW-imap to dovecot 2.0.1 and was wondering about the mail_location config:

mail_location = mbox:~/.:INBOX=/var/mail/%u

Notice '.' in '~/.' above.  This seems to resolve the ~/mail problem when switching from
UW-imap (ie, no 'mail' prefix).

doc/wiki/Migration.UW.txt doesn't mention using '~/.', so I was wondering whether there are
any gotchas anyone can think of.

Thanks
Henry
