I have read what I could find, but not enough apparently.

I am about to migrate my server to a postfix / dovecot setup.

I have stumbled on the mentioned option and are wondering if I should use it.

I have read about it, and I understand the difference, but I cannot find anything that guides me to what I should do.

A pro / con list ?

I figure that there are a reason for the default value, but also wonder when I will benefit from changing it.

My plan is to (if possible) make spamassasin put spam i the spamfolder under the seperate users (serverside), I dont know if that make any difference here.

If it makes any difference, I'm running 2.2.27.

LAYOUT=fs with maildir makes maildir use filesystem directories for folders, so instead of '.mail.folder' it will use 'mail/folder'.

Make sure you put mail_location (or mail from userdb) to something like maildir:~/Mail

Yes, I understand that, the thing I'm not sure of is when should I use one or the other?

What are the pros and cons for each solution?

Asking for pros and cons is bit difficult but I suppose it boils down to having or not having subfolders. It might matter if you have lots and lots of folders. Also if you are using third party tools they might expect one way or another.

I thought about, what if I have lot and lots of mails? I have about 100.000 mails in my mailbox, stored in 402 folders, several of my users have similar amounts. I don't know if that is "lots and lots".

Third party.... Any recommendations regarding spamassasin?

As mentioned, a perfect solution for me was to have the server put detected spam in the users spamfolders.
