Like this ?
mail_location = maildir:/ssd_bkp/ingestmail/mail/%n@%d:BROKENCHAR=_
still throws the same error
I could try migrating to a new layout but will it fix the issue ? I already imported about 250GB of data which I assume I have to throw away and start over ?
Is this a bug in the listescape plugin ?
Thank you for your assistance

You could try adding :BROKENCHAR=^
to mail location, or you could migrate to LAYOUT=index.

Hmm, this is what I have:

I see the plugin being loaded when the imap session starts

Is this possible at all ?
I am trying to import a PST file and it has a slash in the folder name.
Dovecot errors out with :
APPEND "Caixa de Entrada_VIDA/S1" (\Seen)
NO [CANNOT] Invalid mailbox name: Name must not have '/' characters
My namespace separator is the dot and I configured the listescape plugin to
escape / but it still doesn't work.
The listescape documentation says:
The / character is disallowed on POSIX systems.
This plugin allows you to use all of these characters, as long as the
virtual separator (i.e. what is set by the separator setting and used as
such by the IMAP protocol) is changed to something else, which means that
the plugin does not make it possible to use the virtual separator in folder
names.
So it seems that as long as I use the dot, it should work ? Except it
doesn't...
How can I do this import ?
Thank you!

Should work by just loading listescape plugin and not using / as namespace separator.
