I am using Dovecot v 2.2.32 and Sendmail 8.15.2
My "folder" config on Dovecot is
:*mbox:/var/spool2/%u/mail:LAYOUT=fs:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u*
But in fact, any email arriving into the mailbox, stays in Sendmail into
the file location (by default) : /var/spool/mail/user1 and any folder
created, can be reached via Dovecot and is located to /var/spool2/user1
I would recommend to change your Sendmail setup. IMHO you should configure
it so that it uses Maildir instead of mbox.
Please have a look at the Wiki:
https://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA/
https://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail
Or use LMTP instead (which I prefer):
https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/protocols/lmtp_server/
And your Dovecot config could then be something like this:
mail_location = maildir:/var/spool2/%u/Maildir
All the mails and folders in _one_ place.
HTH and regards,
Markus
