I am running Maildir (obtained via [mac|darwin] ports) on my Powerbook Pro
I assume you mean you're running Dovecot. ;)
Is it possible to set Maildir not to put a dot in front of the directory names?
With 1.0.13? Not without hacking up the source. Version 1.1 allows you to do this:
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fsIn which case, your mailboxes will be arranged without the preceeding dot.
I tried messing with the "seperator" setting in the .conf file (I tried setting it to "/", ":" and ".") with no luck. (I was able to connect in all cases, but new folders contined to receive dot-names.
The separator has nothing to do with the backend storage (and *SHOULDN'T*).
Is there a way to force Maildir(++) to name directories without the leading dot?
Not in 1.0.13.
