This is only tangentially related, please forgive me for that, but is there any automated way to convert an existing hierarchy of '.'-separated folders to a LAYOUT=fs configuration?
dsync can do it, although not very optimally (copies all mails rather than just renaming the mailboxes). Anyway works basically the same as any other conversion, e.g.:
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
dsync mirror maildir:~/Maildir-fs:LAYOUT=fs
Of course the last problem is that any existing clients will probably need to recreate their accounts or the clients become confused.
