[Dovecot] 1.0.alpha1: Namespaces

Hi,

I'm currently using 1.0.alpha1 without luck regarding a namespace issue. Maybe it's a general understanding problem on my side, but let's see :-)

I would like to have my mail stored in Maildir format below ~/.maildir/, which works fine so far.

I want any (sub)folders to be created like this:

~/.maildir/
	/cur
	/new
	/tmp
	/.Folder/
		/cur
		/new
		/tmp
		/.Subfolder/
			/cur
			/new
			/tmp

BUT ;) Dovecot seems to disregard my namespace settings:

--8<--[ /etc/dovecot.conf ]--8<-- default_mail_env = maildir:~/.maildir:INDEX=MEMORY namespace private { separator = / # prefix = # location = maildir:~/.maildir inbox = yes hidden = no } --8<--

Every new (sub)folder I create is stored as

~/.maildir/.Folder
resp.
~/.maildir/.Folder.Subfolder

in the filesystem.

Are namespaces the right way? Is it possible at all?

Thanks in advance.
