Hi,
I setup squirrelmail with dovecot and everything worked. I moved users Maildir directores to ~/Maildir/INBOX.directory/ and updated the .subscriptions file to something like ^INBOX.directory
squirrelmail picks this up, but I can't seem to get mutt to read this style. In fact I would have assumed that dovecot would read ~/Maildir/ as INBOX and everything under it as it stands, without having to shuffle things about.
Does anyone use mutt and have any words fo advice?
I am not sure that courier-imapd does this sort of munging?

Sorry to reply to my own, but I have done this to "fix" the issue:
cd ~/Maildir ; for i in * ; do ln -s $i .INBOX.$i ; done
So I can now change to =mailbox
This is inelegant..

Change it in /etc/Muttrc. man muttrc for the imap parameters. I think you want imap_home_namespace=INBOX.directory, probably.

Why do you want to prefix them with "INBOX."? You can configure squirrelmail not to require that.

Courier prefixes them internally with "INBOX.".
cd ~/Maildir ; for i in * ; do ln -s $i .INBOX.$i ; done
Do you mean this creates .INBOX.INBOX.mailbox symlinks?

I don't, squirrelmail just picked that up.

Right.
cd ~/Maildir ; for i in * ; do ln -s $i .INBOX.$i ; done

My usual layout is Maildir/new Maildir/cur Maildir/tmp Maildir/dovecot/ Maildir/dovecot/new Maildir/dovecot/cur Maildir/dovecot/tmp
But I've had to alias Maildir/dovecot to Maildir/.INBOX.dovecot/
Is this not normal? Where did my dovecot get this behaviour of only reading .INBOX* directories from then? :)

That's just a setting in IMAP clients. Some have set their defaults to prefix all mailbox names with "INBOX.", since that's what Courier and Cyrus defaults to.
imap_home_namespace="" with mutt should work (I thought it was default?), and in squirrelmail's config it's in Folder Defaults -> Default folder prefix.
