So there shouldn't be subfolders of ~/Maildir/.INBOX ?
Maildir++ layout creates subfolders by separating them with "." in the directory name. So if you wanted to create INBOX/IN-testing, you'd have to name it .INBOX.IN-testing.
The .INBOX directory itself is used only for Dovecot's indexes in 0.99.x. 1.0-stables/tests don't use .INBOX at all anymore.
Are you listing only subscribed folders and haven't subscribed them? Have you set IMAP namespace prefix? It should be empty. Sounds like client problem in any case.
Aha thanks that was it, like I said I'm migrating form mbox to maildir so I've never had to subscribe to folders before!
The subscription thing is IMAP-specific and is just as required to mbox as it is for maildir. Maybe before you hadn't set "show only subscribed folders" checkbox in client's configuration.
default_mail_env = maildir:/%h/Maildir
This is correct. Except the '/' before %h isn't needed.
Should I remove it or is it simply redundant?
As long as filesystems don't try to access //home/... in some special way, it doesn't matter. Cleaner anyway without the extra / :)
