[Dovecot] Namespace Problems

[Rainer Sigl]

Many thanks,
its working fine with your suggestion.
But only with outlook I still have problems. Today morning I found out 
that outlook does work only I keep the separator line empty
with

namespace private {
#   separator = .
   prefix = INBOX.
   inbox = yes
   hidden = no
}

But the result isn't satisfying. Outlook means it cannont connect to 
server after connection was established, timeouts, goes in offline modus 
etc.
