Your are right guys !
I have two choices:
- Modify the source code of dovecot, changes are to be reported to mail-storage.h. I just have to set the two #define MAILDIR_INFO_SEP_S and MAILDIR_INFO_SEP to a value that my Windows server could handle
- set a translation character table under my Microsoft NFS service http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324218.
The second seems to be a better choice !
A *MUCH* better choice. Changing the info separator would bind your Maildirs to your particular modified version of Dovecot. One of the benefits of Maildir as mailbox storage is that it is rather easy for disparate pieces of software to work with the same mailboxes, while exposing significant message state through the filesystem rather than file content.
