Hi,
>IMAPdir lets me layout mailboxes in the filesystem like so:
>
>$HOME/
> Maildir/ <---- users mail goes here
> Mail/ <---- IMAP root
> INBOX -> ../Maildir/ <---- (symlink)
> folder/ <---- some other mailbox in Maildir format
> folder.subfolder/ <---- '.' is the hierarchy separator
> folder.subfolder-2/
> other-folder/
>
>So IMAP clients subscribe to 'INBOX' and 'folder' and 'folder/subfolder'
>respectively.

The current layout I get with default is:
$HOME/
Maildir/
INBOX/
INBOX.subfolder-of-inbox-if-you-have-any-I-dont/
folder/
folder.subfolder/
etc.
Dovecot can even handle (afaik) having inbox in a different place by
simply configuring
default_mail_env = maildir:/home/%u/Maildir:INBOX=/home/%u/Mail/
I think. Not sure if it can handle INBOX being a maildir. Check the
wiki/docs.
