Taking into account the additional requirement to make things easy for
the sysadmin, one idea would be to make the special value be something
like DbOx-mAiLs.
IMO, I'd rather have to explain to users why they can't create a

They might decide to create folders thus:
postfix-Mails
exim-Mails
dbox-Mails
Oops. We just collided with the Special value.
In this case, I'll have to agree with Steve Jobs[0] and say: Change

You have a kind of Special value which

The folder name 'dbox-Mails' is comprised of two normal words, and

e-mails or Mails.

I concede that this eventuality may be unlikely, but when designing in
I am trying out mdbox under Dovecot 2.0beta5.
Looking in the mailboxes directory under the mdbox storage root
(~/dbox in my case), I can see that the mail folders are mapped into
filesystem directories.
But Dovecot seems to put all the message list information
