As mailtest 'a LIST "" "Users.*" ' is empty. If I do ' a MYRIGHTS Users.some.user.INBOX ' I get 'NO [NONEXISTENT] Mailbox doesn't exist: Users.some.user.INBOX' and, oddly, a new maildir appears: '* LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." "Users.some" ' -- it also creates an empty folder structure with a single file /var/mail/virtual/users/some/Maildir/dovecot-acl-list too!
Is there a workaround that does not involve rebuilding every user's Maildir with backslash as a separator? You don't need to rebuild anything on Dovecot's side to change separator. Just change it. Clients may become confused about that

The only other possibility would be to change '.' in usernames to something else. Maybe auth_username_translation could help there.
In any case having '.' both in usernames and as hierarchy separator just isn't going to work. Ah, I understand, thanks.
Has anybody got any tips on migrating IMAP separators? Ideally I'd be able to migrate users incrementally. Is there a way to specify the separator per-user? I can't see a way to do it with a postlogin script or userdb.
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields shows a namespace setting, but it seems that the namespace is in version 1.2 format and my namespaces look like:
namespace { type = private separator = . prefix = inbox = yes } namespace { type = shared separator = . prefix = Users.%%n. location = maildir:/var/mail/virtual/users/%%n/Maildir/:INDEX=~/shared/%%u subscriptions = no list = children } namespace { type = public separator = . prefix = Shared. location = maildir:/var/mail/virtual/public:INDEX=~/public subscriptions = no }
Thanks,
