Good question: no, it doesn't. I only have one mail_location setting, though, which is global rather than in a scoped area. # doveadm mailbox list -u testu...@sanger.ac.uk test2 test2/test3 Trash INBOX # find /mail/spool/testuser/mail/ -type d /mail/spool/testuser/mail/ /mail/spool/testuser/mail/test2 /mail/spool/testuser/mail/test2/test3 /mail/spool/testuser/mail/test2/test3/cur /mail/spool/testuser/mail/test2/test3/tmp /mail/spool/testuser/mail/test2/test3/new /mail/spool/testuser/mail/test2/cur /mail/spool/testuser/mail/test2/tmp /mail/spool/testuser/mail/test2/new /mail/spool/testuser/mail/Trash /mail/spool/testuser/mail/Trash/cur /mail/spool/testuser/mail/Trash/tmp /mail/spool/testuser/mail/Trash/new /mail/spool/testuser/mail/cur /mail/spool/testuser/mail/tmp /mail/spool/testuser/mail/INBOX /mail/spool/testuser/mail/INBOX/test1 /mail/spool/testuser/mail/INBOX/test1/cur /mail/spool/testuser/mail/INBOX/test1/tmp /mail/spool/testuser/mail/INBOX/test1/new /mail/spool/testuser/mail/new I asked Thunderbird to create 'test1' as a subfolder of 'INBOX'. I've tested some more with folders on the same level as inbox, and those work, including their subfolders. So it must be the non-folder 'INBOX' that isn't replicated: without LAYOUT=fs it's represented as ".INBOX.test1", which has all the relevant folder entries in it. Presumably it skips a directory and its subdirectories if it doesn't contain this data? I found the following option, which moves INBOX and so makes it all work: mail_location = maildir:~/mail:LAYOUT=fs:INBOX=~/mail/INBOX Is this a relatively sane thing to do?
