Hi there

We are trying to move over from 1 IMAP server to another, but the problem is dovecot does not allow .'s in folder names (and we have quite a number of people who do have .'s in their folder names (ie "www.domain stuff")

Is there anyway of allowing dovecot to allow .'s in folder names?

Change MAILDIR_FS_SEP and MAILDIR_FS_SEP_S in src/lib-storage/index/maildir/maildir-storage.h to something else than "." (eg. "^" might be rarely enough used).

After that it's no longer a "standard" Maildir++ though and you'll have to keep patching Dovecot for each new version. I may make this configurable from config file some day though.
