BTW /home/mail/public/ is not a mailbox and must not contain cur new and tmp folders. As Timo said this bug was fixed in 1.1.

Just for the record, and I realize it's not scheduled to be fixed
until v1.1, this is still "broken" in v 1.0.3. Dovecot still creates
cur, tmp, and new in /home/mail/public (or applicable, as
configured). Doesn't hurt anything but just wanted to make the point.
