If you want to implement your 2) part, it needs quite a lot of changing to code.

Why? I wasn't talking in (2) about mixing mbox and maildir... All it requires, it seems, is for mailbox names not to begin with a dot, and to be able to map the IMAP root to a special specific folder...

Hmm. I guess I didn't then understand the question. It looked like a mixed mbox/maildir tree. Mapping sounds like namespaces that Dovecot already has:

    /               -> $HOME/mbox
    /INBOX          -> /var/spool/<username>
    /folder         -> $HOME/mail/folder
    /folder/foo     -> $HOME/mail/folder/foo
    /folder/bar     -> $HOME/mail/folder/bar
    /folder/foo/bar -> $HOME/mail/folder/foo/bar

There can't be a mailbox named "/" (or ""), so the first one couldn't work? The others could probably be done using namespaces? Assuming you're talking about only mboxes here, not maildirs.
