[Dovecot] dot named folders

When a user makes a folder called 'x.y' it actually creates a folder called 'x' with a folder called 'y' inside, rather than a folder called 'x.y'. I'm guessing this has to do with an internal folder separator namespace configuration, but I'm a bit confused by how this works.

I'm using 2.0.15 with mdbox and this is what I have configured for my namespaces:

namespace { separator = . prefix = inbox = yes }

namespace { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = no hidden = yes list = no }

I migrated from courier maildirs, so perhaps I no longer need some of these now that the conversion is finished?

thanks for any suggestions, I've got my head mixed up on this issue, micah
