Deliver + sieve is working great. By setting the sieve variable to "sieve", a non-hidden file, it doesn't appear in the folder list. I made a similar change to pysieved to use a non-hidden folder - in combination with avelsieve and squirrelmail I now have a user-maintainable server-side filter solution. Awesome!
Is there a hidden "gotcha" I'm missing here? It's doing exactly what I want! Everything that would for some reason go into the users homedir, you would be able to reach via Imap.
If I were you, I'd make home and mail point to a different directory, which could be as simple as home=/var/mail/%d/%n mail=/var/mail/%d/%n/Maildir. This way, dovecot will only look for mail in the $HOME/Maildir, but still can do administrative stuff in $HOME.
