Yes.

And you have namespace separator set to '/'?

Yes (which is the default, isn't it ?)

I've been like this in 1.2.12. The only thing I changed is that I commented out
the global "location" directive to specify it by namesapce.

I know, that's why it makes no sense to me that TB complains about a ".".

By the way, if talking imap directly (telnet), I wouldn't even be able to
specify a dot in a mailbox name in command, right ? I guess that would be
interpreted as a hierarchy separator. So this TB message is really strange.

Exactly.

Should I restart dovecot or just a SIGHUP ?

My other questions remains :

  . can we revert from 2.0.8 to 1.2.12 (just in case) ?

  . is there, between 1.2.12 and 2.0.8 some noticeable behavior regarding mailbox name encoding ?
