@mms I have settled on ~/Maildir/<account>/.~/Maildir/ is mentioned as an example for Maildir format in both Dovecot's conf.d/10-mail.conf and postconf(5), perhaps helping to avoid confusion with mbox, and the Maildir format seems to be relatively reliable (see <https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/mailbox_formats/>), as well as convenient to manage in various ways: can inspect mailboxes with ls(1) and less(1), synchronize with rsync(1), particularly if you have SSH access to the server, and so on. While keeping mail in home directories is convenient for backing up your personal files on a server, including mail, and may help with resource management (to set per-user quotas, find who took all the storage space): akin to ~/public_html/ and ~/public_gopher/ directories.I would keep it the same on my local machine, but since I use multiple email accounts (and corresponding mailboxes), that additional split is needed, hence the account subdirectories.
