I also use dovecot and this line in 10-mail.conf: | mail_location = maildir:%h/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs On the MTA side I got exim4 that drops into the INBOX or via .forward into the folders. On my hosting site I choose to simply use the dovecot LDA that will do the Sieve stuff and then save properly into folders. The only downside is of cause, that there are subfolders and namecollisions programmed if you use maildir-folders "cur", "new" or "tmp" as foldernames. I for myself decided that the extra stuff needed to prevent this is nothing worth, as all my clients are german and would never come up with these foldernames.
