[plug] Maildir format

I am a bit confused about the format of a Maildir. I know that because
it is being accessed of IMAP it has extra folders but as to the layout I
am a bit confused.
My understanding of Maildir's was the following format with each mailbox
a directory
Maildir -->
|
|--> Inbox
|--> Sent
|--> MailingLists -->
|--> PLUG
|--> OT
|--> OO.org
etc...
So that if I wanted to create a sub directory I could just create a new
folder in the parent directory. So that would make PLUG =
Maildir/MailingLists/PLUG.
Instead it is Maildir/.MailingLists.PLUG
This doesn't make sense to me. Especially as when I used Squirrelmail it
displays as MailingLists.PLUG but when I was using mbox It would display
as PLUG as a sub folder of MailingLists.
Am I doing something wrong? Or is it the IMAP that is creating them like
this. If so I should be able to run `maildirmake.dovecot
~/Maildir/.MailingLists/.PLUG` and it should work how I want it?
Thanks
Tim
