You need to configure samba to veto the files/folders you don't want
clients to see. Add something similar to the following to your smb.conf:
# Never allow clients to view the following files (even when they
chose to show hidden files).
# Do not allow clients to delete folders which have hidden files
within them.
veto files = /.Maildir/.*/
delete veto files = No
I also tend to add the following to my smb.conf:
# Files that have their Linux permissions set to prevent access
shouldn't even appear
hide unreadable = yes

Hi,
I put "hide dot files = yes" in [homes] section.
I don't understand why I always see files beginning with a dot when I
open a session on this server.
Do you have the option to view hidden files enabled in Windows?? (From
Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > View tab > near the bottom
of the first page is the option for "Hidden files and folders"). A dot
(.) file in Windows is not automatically considered hidden unless the
Samba option you have set is enabled. The option I noted here will
effectively disable that option.
Have a good day
You as well.
