No, Dovecot doesn't look at the filename to figure out if it's maildir
or not. There are some autodetection things, but then it looks for
~/Maildir directory, and since you placed the home directly inside the
maildir, it's not finding it.

Set default_mail_env = maildir:%h or drop the Maildir part from home.
