This is by design. The default '.' shows up with doveconf maildir/mail_inbox_path.

This does not appear to be true. If I comment out mail_inbox_path in the Debian config and in my local.conf:

doveconf maildir/mail_inbox_path

echo $?

0

My bad:

~$ doveconf maildir/layout_maildir++/mail_inbox_path maildir { layout_maildir++ { mail_inbox_path = . } }

It's there for layout_fs too.
