[Dovecot] . (dot) in maildir folder names

Maybe the whole thing IS actually also a dovecot issue...
When trying to create a folder with a dot with thunderbird (which
doesn't simply forbid this)... it actually transmits the folder name to
dovecote (e.g. "kernel.org")... but dovecot then literally takes this
over and creates .kernel.org, i.e. no encoding and thus org becomes a
subfolder.

Cheers,
Chris.
