Get rid of the "dbox-Mails"-folder

[Hativ]

Hey again,

I've found a working configuration: mail_location = sdbox:~/:FULLDIRNAME=.

I use a dot instead of slash or empty value.

Now my folder structure looks like I want and Dovecot is working fine.

Can anyone (maybe even a Dovecot developer?) say if the configuration is 
okay? I've tried to check the source code, but I don't know C as good as 
it's needed for that.

Greetings,

Hativ
