Hi folks,

I have configured the imap folder separator to '/' (see below). AFAIU the separator character does not affect the internal folder representation managed by Dovecot, but just the communication between client and imap server. Question is:

What is supposed to happen if I try to create a folder named "a.b" in this configuration? Since '.' is not a separator character anymore, and since the client doesn't know anything about the internals of Dovecot, I do not see why Dovecot complains about an invalid character? Shouldn't it hide its internal Maildir structure?

Regards

Harri
