[Dovecot] Maidir layout : why and how ?

Hello Timo,

I've been using dovecot from many years now using Maildir mailbox format with default layout (Maildir++, everthing in a single directory).

What would be the reason(s) to convert to Layout=fs ? I can only think of one : to allow dots in mailbox names. And even in that case, I guess I still have the option to use the litescape plugin.

Besides, how would one process to do the conversion ? Using dsync ?

Thanks.
