This is how MailDir works actually, the separator is for the client to 
know how to separate the mail subfolders and does not apply to mail 
storage.

Meaning: When a client talks to the IMAP server, it must use:

SELECT "Folder/Subfolder"

But on disk you always get .Folder.Subfolder, because MailDir is designed 
like that.
