What error did lda give? You probably should add: Command output: doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf line 54: Unknown setting: separator )
That looks like it wasn't inside namespace {} or something else was weird. Anyway, you should have gotten that same error simply by running "doveconf" (or "dovecot", or any Dovecot tool really).
(maildir uses '.' (I think)) so I only added: namespace { separator = . }
You need inbox=yes there too (or maybe it's added there by default if you have only one namespace, can't remember).
namespace { separator = / inbox = yes } Intuitively I would have expected '.' and not '/' (default (m)dbox), since I'm converting between maildir (.) and dbox(/) - right?
For dsync it doesn't matter if it's '.' or '/', both will work fine. But if you have existing IMAP clients then you should preserve the separator or they could become confused.
