Hello,

I'm playing around with Dovecot 2.0 beta 4.

If I use dsync to convert a users mail stored in Maildir format to mdbox format, the subscriptions file in the new mdbox is created using the wrong mailbox separator ('.') leading to folders within folders not being readable by clients using the subscription feature.

Excerpt from IMAP: . LIST "" "*"

• LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "Spam"
• LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Spam/Test"

. LSUB "" "*"

• LSUB () "/" "Spam"
• LSUB () "/" "Spam.Test" … So the question is, is this a bug in dsync?

No, it's only a known problem, as long as it's mentioned in: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/file/tip/TODO

But this command may be helpful: sed -i "s/\./\//g" subscriptions
