Of course, in your transport for maildir, you probably have something like:
maildir_home:
driver = appendfile
directory = $home/Maildir
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
maildir_format
mode = 0600
mode_fail_narrower = false
What you have to do is to change the "directory" variable to the one you
wish (i.e: directory = $home/.maildir) .
However, you will also have to move all mails to this directory
manually, and you may have to reconfigure your pop/imap/webmail services
too to reflect this change.
