Thank you, by using "LAYOUT=maildir++" on 1.1rc3 it worked. I still would suggest the .sdb directory concept. It would evade the limitation of filenames length which I think it is 255, unless it has changed in recent years.

Hi,
Is it possible to have dovecot configured to use mbox format and yet have folders that contains sub-folders and messages? I'm thinking of a simple setup where any files directory with extension .sbd are presented to the IMAP client without the extension. So if you have a mbox file named BOX01 and a directory name BOX01.sdb would show has one on the client side (note: that is the way Thunderbird keeps it's mail locally).
I know that the Maildir format does the sub-folders+messages, but I'm not really interested by the one file per email.
With v1.1 you could have maildir++ directory layout with mboxes (mbox:~/mail:LAYOUT=maildir):
~/mail/.mbox1 ~/mail/.mbox1.submbox
