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. ;)
sorry apple mail , has a long history of bugs with imap ( special it acted not very good with courier an other namespaces ) and there are no version for linux and windows, so i personally dont like it
Well, I wasn't advocating for using the client or any software part of Apple Mail, just the folder structure it uses in case it is universally useful and acceptable.
In any case any standard be it derived from Apple Mail, something else, or maybe a new dovecot standard would be better than the current zoo of setups.
And having dovecot implement that standard in default config files with mappings for the most common imap clients will certainly make it a widely used standard in the long term.
