[Dovecot] dovecot 1.0, namespace & mbox

Hello,

i try to use a new namespace with mbox parallel to my working maildir
configuration.

With this i have a few interesting effects:

- - dovecot doesn't use the CONTROL statement and generate a
.subscriptions file at the namespace directory. The INDEX statement is used.

- - dovecot can work with subdirectories even mbox is used

- - I can't work with namespaces under Thunderbird till i have a mbox file
manually there. an subscription or construction of a new mbox file isn't
possible :-( but this seems like one of the (handling?) bugs of Thunderbird

- - Why can't i delete a Folder at an namespace? Dovecot complains "Can't
rename mailbox to another storage type". Probably this is only a config
issue.

- - if i use as the first character for the prefix an # like #Archiv
dovecot dosen't recognize the complete prefix statement at this
namespace. The output of "dovecot -n" is the same except the prefix
statement.
I thought # is a legal character? A folder can start with it.

Any ideas ??

Here is the output of dovecot -n :
