I tried :LAYOUT=maildir++ to work with dbox but it didn't work for me.

I have configurations:

lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes
mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox:LAYOUT=maildir++

If I try to deliver a message to a folder 'foo' using dovecot-lda

( echo 'Subject: test' ; echo ; echo 'test' ) | 
/usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -m foo

I get an error in the logs:

Sep  6 14:41:08 pod dovecot: lda(bill): Error: user bill: Initialization 
failed: Initializing mail storage from mail_location setting failed: 
Mailbox list driver maildir++: maildir_name not supported by this driver
Sep  6 14:41:08 pod dovecot: lda(bill): Fatal: Invalid user settings. 
Refer to server log for more information.

I am using 2.0.1 auto 28 downloaded from xi.rename-it.nl today.
