i run an os x server, and keep it simply as a server, so there's no  
need to match the mail storage w/ the apple mail layout.  since i  
only have a handful of users, i use $HOME/Maildir for each account,  
then let the client machines/apps do as they wish.   if i had more  
users if would move it into /var and use a different authentication  
scheme.  the only difference from a linux setup is that most things  
dovecot don't seem as well tested under os x since there are fewer of  
us.
