Type of Maildir structure I am using came from KDE. No '.'s just folders.
According to the Wiki, dovecot uses Maildir++ directory structure, which requires the preceding dots in the directory names:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir
Specifically:
"Directory Structure
Dovecot uses Maildir++ directory layout for organizing mailbox directories. This means that all the folders are directly inside ~/Maildir directory:
~/Maildir/new, ~/Maildir/cur and ~/Maildir/tmp directories containthe messages for INBOX. The tmp directory is used during delivery, new messages arrive in new and read shall be moved to cur by the clients.
~/Maildir/.folder/ is a mailbox folder
~/Maildir/.folder.subfolder/ is a subfolder of a folder (ie."folder/subfolder")
Most importantly this means that if your maildir folders exist in eg. ~/Maildir/folder and ~/Maildir/folder/subfolder, Dovecot won't see them unless you rename them to Maildir++ layout. v1.1 supports them by adding :LAYOUT=fs to mail_location."
I don't know if the last sentence above should read ">>> v1.1+..." or if versions after 1.1 no longer support ':LAYOUT=fs' ...
