Under /etc/dovecot/virtual
you create the virtual folder structure you want, and put the dovecot-virtual files under those folders.
such as
/etc/dovecot/virtual/month/dovecot-virtual
Then in dovecot.conf you put
namespace virtual {
location = virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual:INDEX=~/virtual:CONTROL=~/virtual
Ah, that is nifty. I did try setting up a sample monthly box under my list accounts, but when I loaded up my mail client (I tried three) it only showed "virtual”and "month”as empty mailboxes (Mail.app in iOS/macOS, Thunderbird, Roundcube webmail).
However, this is more in line with what I would like to create, a single configuration for ALL users, so I will give that a shot before I start trouble-shooting.
One quick note, ISBN;'t the default separator for Maildir '.’ and not '/'? I'd guess most everyone will need to specify
prefix=virtual.
separator=.
Yes? (At least when I tried '/‘as the separator dovecot complained)

My main job is trying to come up with new and innovative and effective ways to reject even more mail. I'm up to about 97% now.
