[Dovecot] Seperator

[Carsten Laun-De Lellis]

Hi all

 

I hope to get some help on the separator. I am sure that I hava a wrong
understanding what the separator is.

 

I thaught the separator is the delimiter within the imap folder structure.

 

For example:

 

Imap folder structure: folder Flights, subfolder Lufthansa

If the delimiter is “.” the ls –a command should result:

.Flights                 .Flights.Lufthansa

If delimiter is  “/”

Flights                  Flights/Lufthansa

 

I tried several delimiters but only the “.” Works.

 

My dovecot.conf file:

mail_location = maildir:/vmail/%d/%n

 

namespace {

        type = private

        separator = /

        location = maildir:/vmail/%d/%n

        inbox = yes

        subscriptions = yes

}

 

I would appreciate any help

 

Mit freundlichem Gruß
