I tell users to limit the folder characters to /0-9a-zA-Z_/, because anything else may upset a mail client or server.
As I have no control over their minds, hands, and client software, I wish I could enforce the policy from the server, returning an error message to the client.
On its turn, this requires the client to listen to such server messages, operated by a smarter user.
At the end of the day, it feels like we are re-discovering the wheel, as such problems should have been addressed and solved long ago by an RFC.
Listescape is a welcome patch. Let see if it works. I just have to select a character that no user could type and still practical for the filesystem to use...

user attempts to create folders with / dovecot naturally cannot create it so it returns error but outlook of course "create" it and keep data in local store only. data is lost when you remove local store .pst file.
The question is - can dovecot be configured so it will automatically replace slash in name with something else?
