My configuration is this:
mail_driver = maildir
mail_path=/mailboxes/%{user}
mailbox_list_layout=fs
mailbox_directory_name=mbxInternal
After connecting to Dovecot with Thunderbird for the first time, the
following directory structure is created:
./dovecot.index.log
./Trash
./Trash/mbxInternal
./Trash/mbxInternal/dovecot.index.cache
./Trash/mbxInternal/cur
./Trash/mbxInternal/dovecot-uidlist
./Trash/mbxInternal/new
./Trash/mbxInternal/tmp
./Trash/mbxInternal/dovecot.index.log
./Trash/mbxInternal/dovecot-keywords
./dovecot.mailbox.log
./dovecot-uidvalidity
./subscriptions
./dovecot-uidvalidity.69245ab1
./dovecot.list.index.log
./dovecot-uidlist
Trying to copy a mail (using thunderbird) to the Trash will succeed, but
trying to copy to INBOX gives the error
Error: Mailbox INBOX:
open(/mailboxes/me/tmp/1763990412.M635852P115610.mailstore) failed: No
such file or directory
which isn't surprising, the tmp/cur/new directories aren't there.
After creating a subfolder, I have
./tmp
./dovecot.mailbox.log
./dovecot-uidvalidity
./INBOX
./INBOX/subfolder
./INBOX/subfolder/mbxInternal
./INBOX/subfolder/mbxInternal/new
./INBOX/subfolder/mbxInternal/cur
./INBOX/subfolder/mbxInternal/dovecot-uidlist
./INBOX/subfolder/mbxInternal/dovecot.index.log
./INBOX/subfolder/mbxInternal/tmp
./cur
./subscriptions
./dovecot.list.index.log
./Junk
./Junk/mbxInternal
./Junk/mbxInternal/cur
./Junk/mbxInternal/
./new
all directories are there as expected, and copying to INBOX works as well.
Tested with Dovecot 2.4.1 (Debian13) and Thunderbird 140.5
NB: with mailbox_directory_name and mailbox_list_layout unset,
cur/new/tmp directories are created immediately.

Andreas
