OK that's better, the screenshot helps too.
There are a number of funny things here.
First of all, dovecot.sieve belongs in the *home* directory, not in 
Maildir. The home directory can be, typically, the parent directory of 
the Maildir.
Like in: domains/example.com/user1/Maildir - the user1/ is the home 
directory and dovecot.sieve lives there.

Would you please post your complete dovecot config (output of the 
command: dovecot -n) and also an example output of ls -la of your 
directory structure?
