I use offlineimap to pull down some Gmail mail stores. With offlineimap
I use sep = / and nothing more exotic.
With dovecot I can see INBOX, messages, and messages in top level
folders but not subfolders.
I'm dealing with folder structure that looks like this:
/opt/gmail/joe/Later
/opt/gmail/joe/Tech/Projects
/opt/gmail/joe/Tech/Projects/Fun
/opt/gmail/joe/Tech/Projects/Failed
/opt/gmail/joe/Tech/Projects/Planning
The folder Later has cur, tmp, new and I can see messages.
Projects is a container for subfolders Fun, Failed, Planning. I know
Fun, Failed, Planning has messages but I'm not able to expand (via
thunderbird) the folder Projects.
I have this configured in dovecot.conf
mail_location = maildir:/opt/gmail/joe:INBOX=/opt/gmail/joe/INBOX:LAYOUT=fs
namespace private {
separator = /
list = yes
}
---
And this is what's getting logged...

prefix=, sep=/, inbox=no, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes
