Well, okay, autodetection is a different thing. :) I didn't think of it.
But even there Dovecot doesn't itself check if there's a '/' suffix.
It's just that stat("test-mail/") happens to return an error if
test-mail is a file, while it works for a directory.
If you specify the maildir: or mbox: prefix (as is preferred), then the
suffix is always removed.
