No. And one of the first commands they typically do is LIST. So there
are no good ways to solve this.Although I haven't really seen much problems myself. Linux clients allow changing what mailboxes they use, so I just configure them to use the same as Apple Mail..
Given than you seem to bless Apple Mail folder structures it makes it a good candidate to try to push as a standard for others to copy. Maybe there could be example setups/configs shipped with dovecot that maps other naming conventions to Apple's? In that way dovecot would start to inforce the use of a standard which in the long term could become a real standard.
If Apple's structure are not the best to go with, then we could use some other naming convention, I just trust that Timo's choice is not a bad one. ;)
