There are no 'cur', 'new' and 'tmp' directories in ~/Maildir, as written in the wiki, but instead this .INBOX directory which contains these 'cur', 'new' and 'tmp'.
Is this expected ? Thanks.
No, it's not expected. And you mean Dovecot actually finds the mails from the .INBOX? I don't really see how/why it would with your configuration.
Yes, dovecot find the mails in INBOX from ~/Maildir/.INBOX . The deliver tool also stores incoming mail in this folder.
If you want, I have strace output of a sample deliver run.
Better than strace would be to set mail_debug=yes and show the logs.
Here are the logs for a deliver run:
