I'd be really grateful if someone running a dovecot IMAP (or IMAPS) server could tell me exactly how their email folders are arranged.
Beware. You are asking to have other people tell you who you are. That usually does not work well.
Non capisco.
~/Maildir/new is where Postfix delivers new messages. ~Maildir/cur is where dovecot moves messages that it has seen. My mail clients do all the work for moving some messages to subdirectories in the maildir tree.
Where exactly do they move email to?
http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir describes the way dovecot implements the Maildir++ quasi-standard.
I don't think so. I just looked again at this document, but I'm afraid I find it more or less useless.
A concrete example of an actual mail setup and how this is seen by an IMAP client would have been much more useful, in my view.
