[dovecot] Re: Folders with mail and subfolders

I have a maildir hierarchy (built originally with Courier-IMAP) where some folders contain both email and subfolders. Using Dovecot I cannot see the mail in the top folders: I can only see the subfolders.

Is this an RFC restriction or a Dovecot restriction? If the latter, is it planned to change?

Far as I know, that's usually a client-side issue. I had the same thing come up when I was using Cyrus where a folder can hold either messages or more folders. Netscape has an option where you can have both or they're mutually exclusive.

Nowadays, I'm using mbox, so they're sorta mutually exclusive. ;)
