I changed /etc/dovecot/passwd to:
my-username_account1:{PLAIN}password:my-username:my-group::::userdb_mail=maildir:/home/my-username/mail/account1:LAYOUT=fs

Dovecot creates {tmp,new,cur} dirs within account1 (the root),
apparently not recognizing the maildirs within the root (e.g.,
/home/my-username/mail/account1/INBOX/{tmp,new,cur}).
