Currently, Modoboa automatically appends the MAILDIR_ROOT parameter to the path field of a new mailbox. It works, but it is not portable. For example, Dovecot makes a distinction between a user home directory and a user mailbox directory. If both share the same location, it will lead to a problematic situation for environments using sieve, as the directory containing the scripts will be considered as a mailbox sub-folder.
