dovecot is for IMAP access.  So why not use IMAP?

I don't know what 'nbg' means.  

Are you expecting users to both be able to read email from their
phones, as well as from their desktop computers, and as well on the
mail server using mutt to access the Maildir/ directly?  

If so, then we're really not going to be able to help you, since
you're persuing a terrible plan which will screw things up.  Dovecot
expects to be the solve thing in control of the mail store for
messages.

Mutt is perfectly happy talking to IMAP even when you're logged into
the same system that handles the email.  So why change? 

If people like to download and save mail elsewhere, then let them do
so to their own directories, but keep access to the Maildir/ area
limited to just dovecot and postfix (for delivering email INTO the
Maildir setup.  

I've got more comments in your original messaage.
