Oh, so it works differently than I thought. I'll make the separator
configurable in some future Dovecot version, but for now it would be
easiest if you just renamed the maildirs. Or you can also change the
sources:

src/lib-storage/index/maildir/maildir-storage.h:
#define MAILDIR_FS_SEP '.'
#define MAILDIR_FS_SEP_S "."

But do the maildirs still begin with "-" character? If not, then just
changing the above defines won't be enough.
