I don't think there's anything else than doc/dovecot-mysql.conf, but it should be pretty helpful.
Please forgive me for asking this but WHERE the XXXX can I find this file ?
How did you install Dovecot? It comes at least with sources. If you installed from binary package, it might be in /usr/share/doc/dovecot/, or maybe not.
Maildir files are simple one message per file. It doesn't really matter what the files are named. Just put them into new/ or cur/ directory and Dovecot should see them. If you don't have real email files, that's fine too. Just write something in the file.
I have made a file named test with some test in it and put it both at the new and cur directories. But Outlook don't seem to pick it up ?
If the file in new/ isn't moved into cur/ after logging in, Dovecot is looking into wrong directory for the mails. If your userdb had home=/var/local/virtualdir/%d/%u, then you should have either:
default_mail_env=maildir:%h and new mails should be delivered to /var/local/virtualdir/domain.com/user/new/
or
default_mail_env=maildir:%h/Maildir and new mails should be delivered to /var/local/virtualdir/domain.com/user/Maildir/new/
