Ultimately, I have two questions:
1.) Is the nesting structure that I've employed correct? The Wiki 2 page is not clear with regard to the nesting; is it correct to put the "namespace" block inside the "protocol imap" block, as I demonstrated above? I think it would be better, if you put the namespace configuration at the top level. See http://master.wiki2.dovecot.org/Namespaces or 10-mail.conf and 15-mailboxes.conf, that are located in the doc/example-config/conf.d/ directory of the Dovecot sources, for more examples.
2.) Is it possible to escape the dollar sign so that it can be used as the separator? There was a mistake in the wiki. You should quote the $ like this: "$".
br, Teemu Huovila
Teemu,
Thank you!!! Quoting the "$" fixed the syntax issue. And I moved the namespace to the root level of the configuration, per your advice.
Now, the only problem I see is that when I attempt to create a new folder beneath the Inbox (whether it contains a "." or not), the folder appears at the root-level of the IMAP account, at the same level as the Inbox itself. The folder name is "INBOX.My Folder".
Also, if I try to select the folder and view its contents, I receive the error, "Mailbox doesn't exist: INBOX.My Folder". But this may simply be a product of a misconfiguration on my part.
For what it's worth, this seems to happen regardless of the separator that I define in the namespace.
Do I need to change something else in the Dovecot config for this to work the way that I'm intending?
Thanks again for your invaluable assistance,
-Ben
