Yes I use maildir format.  All I did was 'mkdir'  a folder called
'.test' in the top level of my mail directory and set the ownership and
group access so that my dovecot daemon can access it.  I then went to my
mail client (thunderbird) and copied a message from another folder into
.test and it created all of the cur new and tmp directories along with
index files.  It's no big deal.  In my experience dovecot is very
forgiving.  I've had messed up index files and deleted them and then it
recreates them.
