AFAIK postfix can deliver to maildir-format "folders" and also to
~/Maildir (where courier assumes all folders will live).

I have squirrelmail and uw-imap together on my machine.  I did find
a bug filed as #152219 but I think it has been fixed already.  (hmm, I
should un-hack my squirrelmail and test it :-)).

In IMAP, the "INBOX.Sent" notation means that the folder named "Sent"
has the path "INBOX".  So if "INBOX" is located on disk as ~/Mail,
then the Sent folder would be ~/Mail/Sent.  If that's the situation
you're seeing, that's normal.  (The real details, I believe, is that
INBOX is /var/mail/$USER and all other folders reside under ~/Mail)
