I think I cannot just set hierarchy_sep to '/', because /foo would start from the root of the filesystem instead of being relative to ~/Maildir.
Do you have any suggestions on the cleaner way of doing it? Or maybe do you think it is wrong to depart from '.' for some reason?
Well .. The '.' is currently pretty much hardcoded there in multiple places. I was going to make the separator that clients see configurable, and also support changing the real filesystem separator by modifying some single #define in sources..
If you wanted to change it to '/', I guess it would mostly work but you might have to create subdirectories sometimes. For example client could create "a/b/c/d" mailbox even if "a" didn't exist. Also you'd have to get the LIST code from mbox since it's very different in maildir++.
