Yep. seems to work fine. I think courier had a special command because it
creates some extra files and a directory inside the maildir for its indexing.

The generic formula for creating Maildirs is:
mkdir ${path}/${name}/tmp
mkdir ${path}/${name}/cur
mkdir ${path}/${name}/new
Where ${path} is the path to the parent folder and ${name} is the name
of the Maildir.
That's really all there is to it.

Here's a script I wrote to archive old mail using doveadm. It should be simple
enough to tweak it to your needs. Basically you call it with a mailbox name and
it will archive all mails before a certain date. Source and Destination Path
are in the script code:
dovearchive.sh:
#!/bin/bash
# Archive old posts before certain date to 'Public/Archive/Mailbox/Year'
# Set basic parameters accordingly:
# archive=2011, before_date=$year-mm-dd
# source_mailbox_base=Public/Newsletters
# dest_mailbox_base=Public/Archive/Newsletters
# Actual Mailbox is read from command line
set -e
archive=2012
let year=$archive+1
before_date=$year-01-01
mailbox_owner=t...@leuxner.net
source_mailbox_base='Public/Newsletters'
dest_mailbox_base='Public/Archive/Newsletters'
#acl_admin_group=owner
acl_admin_group='group=PublicMailboxAdmins'
acl_unlock_seq="$acl_admin_group delete expunge insert lookup post read write
write-seen write-deleted"
acl_lock_seq="$acl_admin_group insert lookup post read write write-seen"
acl_lock_archive="$acl_admin_group insert lookup read write write-seen"
msg_formatted() {
echo "$(date "+%b %d %H:%M:%S") $*"
}
if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
echo "usage: $0 mailbox" >&2
exit 1
fi
# Mailbox exists?
doveadm acl get -u $mailbox_owner "$source_mailbox_base/$1" || { echo 'Mailbox
not found.'; exit 1; }
# Create New Archive Mailbox
doveadm mailbox create -u $mailbox_owner "$dest_mailbox_base/$1/$archive"
# Modify ACL, expunge mail and revert ACL
msg_formatted "[>] Archiving \"$dest_mailbox_base/$1/$archive\""
doveadm acl set -u $mailbox_owner "$source_mailbox_base/$1" $acl_unlock_seq
doveadm move -u $mailbox_owner "$dest_mailbox_base/$1/$archive" mailbox
"$source_mailbox_base/$1" before $before_date

And that's why. I might be able to use sieve sometime in the future once I figure out what it can do, but right now I have a script that works and simply want to modify it for dovecot. -- Of course, there were various groups seeking his overthrow, and this was right and proper and the sign of a vigorous and healthy society.

[Dovecot] Maildirmake equiv?
Since I am using dovecot I do not have courier installed, but Courier had a
very handy tool for making maildir folders called `maildirmake` which I used in
some automated backup scripts. How do I duplicate maildirmake in dovecot?
for example:
#!/bin/bash
# v1.2a Testing for new dovecot install
# Archive mail from folders without [0-9]{4} Maildirs
# after they are 21 days old to a yearly folder
MDIR="$HOME/Maildir"
MDM="/usr/local/bin/maildirmake"
YEAR=`/usr/local/bin/gdate -d "last month" '+%Y'`
echo "The Year is $YEAR..."
OIFS=$IFS
IFS="
"
for I in `find $MDIR -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type d| egrep -v
"[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]"`; do
MYDIR="${I}"
TBASE=`basename $MYDIR`
# if [ ! $TBASE == "Maildir" ]; then
TDIR=`dirname $MYDIR`
TARGET="${TDIR}/.zz${TBASE}.${YEAR}"
# echo "$MYDIR $TARGET"
if [ -d "$MYDIR/cur" ]; then
echo -n "Processing ${MYDIR} => ${TARGET}..."
if [ ! -d "${TARGET}" ]; then
echo ""
echo -n "WARNING ${TARGET} does not exist. invoking $MDM ${TARGET}..."
$MDM "${TARGET}"
fi
if [ -d "${TARGET}" ]; then
# echo "$TARGET does exist, moving files"
find ${MYDIR}/cur -type f -ctime +21 -exec mv {} ${TARGET}/cur/ \;
echo "done."
else
echo "$TARGET does not exist"
fi
fi
# fi
done
IFS=$OIFS
