The dots were removed, but I accidentally copied the old settings to 
show what my settings were. Anyway, the information was useful since I 
know was able to correctly ignore some of the INBOX.* folders. The 
problems with the rules not being used by Dovecot were magically solved 
after two reboots of the server... Thanks to all for the help!

My next problems is that I want a vacation/'out of office'-message for 
some users this summer. Is this a default option or not? Or can I find 
this option in the Postfix settings (there is a field in the 
postfix/dovecot database for it) If not, I will probably have to start a 
new thread if I can't work out how it works (though I hope there is some 
nice info available through Google) ;) .
