Hi,
I have a fedora21 install with dovecot-2.2.18, and when creating a new subfolder with thunderbird, the actual folder name is "Folder1^Folder2" with a carat as a separator, instead of creating Folder2 in the Folder1 directory.
Is this a thunderbird problem? I don't recall having this problem prior to upgrading to fedora21, so thought maybe it's a dovecot problem.
Maybe the separator character is customizable?
please post your old and the current configuration:
doveconf -n
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir and http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Listescape
seems to apply in your situation. Perhaps I'm just not understanding, but I've spent the last few days reading through those links, and I just don't understand. I'm really hoping my doveconf output will help. I've also understand this may be a long-standing thunderbird bug, but it worked up until a few months ago after a dovecot/fedora upgrade.

Please let me know what other information I can provide to help troubleshoot this.
Thanks, Alex I think this link will prove useful.
