Hmm. I guess I didn't then understand the question. It looked like a
mixed mbox/maildir tree. Mapping sounds like namespaces that Dovecot
already has:

        /               -> $HOME/mbox
        /INBOX          -> /var/spool/<username>
        /folder         -> $HOME/mail/folder
        /folder/foo     -> $HOME/mail/folder/foo
        /folder/bar     -> $HOME/mail/folder/bar
        /folder/foo/bar -> $HOME/mail/folder/foo/bar

There can't be a mailbox named "/" (or ""), so the first one couldn't
work? The others could probably be done using namespaces? Assuming
you're talking about only mboxes here, not maildirs.
