- Andre suggested to use
mail_location = maildir:%h/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs
in dovecot, which I have yet to try. If this does what a web
search suggests, then it will make dovecot use mutt's hierarchy
instead of the standard IMAP-hierarchy, and that would solve my
problem, I think: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Maildir
I can confirm that running dovecot with a line in the conf file like the
one above does work. I use the following with dovecot when I want/need
to access my mutt maildir store with clients that can't read directly
from the file system.
mail_location = maildir:~/mail:INBOX=~/mail/Inbox:LAYOUT=fs
To be explicitly clear, my maildir structure has IMAP folders as
directories on the file system and not encoded in the mailbox name with
'.' or some other character:
mail/Inbox
mail/lists/mutt
mail/lists/offlineimap
etc.
