Sieve makes no assumptions no mailbox names, so using what Courier
uses makes sense. You do need a string expansion on $address_file,
there is no way around. For courier, it needs to expand:

inbox -> ~/.maildir
inbox.folder -> ~/.maildir/.folder

Something like this (untested):

  directory = ${if eq{$address_file}{inbox} \
                   {$home/.maildir} \
                   {$home/.maildir/${sg{$address_file}{^inbox}{}}} \
               }


That way, fileinto "inbox.subfolder.mymail" will save to
~/.maildir/.subfolder.mymail/new.

If you want to allow INBOX as well, a case-insensitive comparison must
be performed.
