I'm using dovecot imapd 0.99.10.5 from debian unstable and I noticed that dovecot returns everything in the maildir folder that starts with a "." as a folder as the result of

LIST "" "%"

command without checking if it is really a maildir folder (must contain the directories cur, new, tmp and the file maildirfolder).

It's a bit useless to check it in most situations and it would just cause extra disk I/O if system doesn't support struct dirent->d_type field.. But since this has been asked often enough..:

You'd probably want to run autogen.sh + configure again, or just #define HAVE_DIRENT_D_TYPE in config.h.
