[Dovecot] auto-detection of user mailbox type

[John Harper]

This works, but can it coexist with namespace directives (which seem to
break it)? Even putting in the default namespace, and no others, ie
namespace private {
	separator = /
	prefix = 
	inbox = yes
}

causes it to look for the inbox in various default locations instead
of using the MAIL environment variable set by the script. I wanted to
have the UW compatibility namespaces for those users whose client
config has not yet been updated.

Thanks,

John Harper
