It seems that USER is set to tim@localhost.gayleard.eu rather than tim .
your (missing)
doveconf -ndoesn't contain auth_username_format = %Ln. So, edit your conf.d/10-auth.conf and set auth_username_format to %Ln.
Thanks very much - that seems to have been the whole problem. After changing %Lu (the default) to %Ln everything seems to be working, including spam being sent to ~/Maildir/.Spam.
It does seem slightly odd to me that %u stands for user + domain, while %n stands for user without domain? And why is %Lu the default? Is it just for those using an SQL user database?
