I don't, squirrelmail just picked that up.

Right.

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? :)
