Dovecot v1.0 supports only Maildir++ directory layout:
http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir#maildir++

Would be easiest if you could just rename the mailboxes, or maybe
symlink them.

With v1.1 you'd be able to do:

mail_location = maildir:~/mail:LAYOUT=fs

These are pretty kludgy, but you could do:

namespace {
  prefix = spam.
  location = maildir:~/mail/spam
}

And that would show up as spam.INBOX I think. Or maybe not. Namespaces
weren't really meant for this kind of use.
