Re: Ignore specific subfolders within Maildir?

• Aki Tuomi via dovecot:

Just for clarity I ment Maildir format with FS layout. Maildir++ layout is what you are using now.

Thanks for clarifying.

The whole situation is uncomfortable. Dovecot is right to expect Maildir folders to adhere to a certain structure and naming conventions, and if some third party application uses directory names which clash with these conventions, that is certainly not Dovecot's fault. It would just be helpful if one could specify

ignore_path_regex = \.foo$

or similar, and have Dovecot look the other way.
