Often (I guess) people are transferring to dovecot from uw-imapd which allows "." in mbox names. Lots of staff here teach courses called something like 53.101, 47.897 etc, so periods are very common in mbox names.
To facilitate painless (for users anyway) transition to dovecot, I set the maildir folder separator to ';' and it works just fine.
To me it makes the most sense to use a character that is least likely to be used - a semi-colon sounds good to me.
It would be nice if this were a config. file option - how hard is this to change for a 'non-programmer'?
