[dovecot] IMAP Folder paths

Hello,

we like to use dovecot, but our old imapd used to store the paths of the folder in the file ~/.mailboxlist. This file contains something like this:

mail/read
mail/dovecot
.netscape/imap/mailbox
.Mail/foo

Each line with a path to one mbox folder. And please pay attention that there is no path to the inbox, because this is stored on the server... Is there a way to use this files with dovecot? It would be a real pain to change this for a few thousand user...

Do you see a chance of using such a file? Or is it already possible and I'd overlooked it? Or is it easy / hard to implement?

kind regards,

Jürgen Kahnert
